I do not remember receiving merge requests from ACS. But my memory is
not very good in the long term :-)
Maybe the readers (or some of them) are not CCID compliant and then
cannot be included in my driver.

SCM (now IDentive) uses proprietary (non documented AFAIK) commands to
talks to the contactless interface of their readers. Maybe they prefer
to keep the command set secret and then provide their own proprietary
driver.

I do not know Aventra as a reader manufacturer. It looks like they are
reselling readers from others.

I have no problem with people/company reusing my code as long as the
licence is respected.
