Yeah, card issuing is often contracted to some big corporation. They don't usually like Open<anything>, including open source (except using it, when it helps them cut costs). Yet it would be extremely beneficial to have open source also in the card. It would be a great example if some government could be persuaded into publishing the applet source as well. For eID related applets - have a look at Belgian eID card emulator: http://code.google.com/p/eid-quick-key-toolset/ -- @MartinPaljak.net +3725156495 _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list opensc-devel@lists.opensc-project.org http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel
