talk to rsa labs. they have a plan for a new version of the pkcs#11 standard and they want to change the license of the pkcs#11 header files at that time too. then we can all drop both our old and badly licensed pkcs#11 header files from rsa labs or the new and free, but only partial, reimplementation from scute project. except of course those projects, that don't want to implement the new version of the standard. thats the problem with versioned standards: everyone can pick the version they want to implement and support, and thus subtile incompatibilites are possible. the non-free license on the header files, thus the need to reimplement what we need from those files, made the situation even worse. but I still hope pkcs#11 v2.30 will be released soon with a free license on the header files. and that it won't contain problematic changes, thus everyone can update to the new header files (and simple keep the version number they implement at a lower value, if they don't want to update).
