A tragic development! https://github.com/oasis-tcs/pkcs11/issues/9#issuecomment-3881379096 So, I'm not sure what the right thing to do at all is anymore. Rewrite it not to use these headers but still provides a compatible ABI? Mark it proprietary? Use p11-kit and assume there was some behind-the-scenes dealing to make it distributable under the terms specified in it? Those terms being: /* pkcs11.h Copyright 2006, 2007 g10 Code GmbH Copyright 2006 Andreas Jellinghaus Copyright 2017, 2021-2025 Red Hat, Inc.

It's not unheard-of that such special exceptions are granted to companies in order to release stuff as free software, so I reckon that's a possibility. -- Arsen Arsenović
