GTKCard is already linked with OpenSSL so I have to add permission.
The issue with PKCS#11 is different since the lib should be loaded at
run time (in a future version) and not distributed with the binary.
You can dynamically load any thing at run time and still be compliant
with the GPL. What is forbiden is the _distribution_ of a software
mixing GPL and GPL-incompatible codes.

Why not.
I don't like the name GTKCard. Any better idea?

At one time I tried to use libp11 but I had too many changes and
postponed that change. I first wanted to release a working version.

You do not need to know gtk to add libp11 support.
Another evolution would be to use glade to generate the GTK+ interface.

I don't know what to document but maybe other want to help. Maybe the
more important would be to have a bug tracker.

Find bugs. Correct them :-)
Propose new features. Implement them :-)
