Actually RMS uses such a card himself. He told me a few years ago that it does not matter because it is technically not possible to change the software running on the card. FWIW, Achim, the author of the specs and the OpenPGP application of the card, has published a basic implementation of the software w/o the parts falling under the NDA with the chip and OS vendors. If you want a free implementation of an OpenPGP compliant token, you should look at gnuk <http://www.fsij.org/category/gnuk.html>. The hard- and software has been designed and implemented by my co-hacker gniibe. It is more expensive due to the small-scale production and it does not have any physical protection of the chip. The advantage is that is is fully free software and that it runs a standard micro-controller, which is small enough to allow the detection of malicious hardware modifications.
