Please be specific: who has to pay whom and how much? Name, sum in €, with any kind of extra fees (taxes, commissions, bribes) included. > I would say 'technical review', nothing special.

Are you talking about the open source CCID driver "unsupported" and "shouldwork" lists? I've been under the impression (based on the header in "shouldwork" list [1]) that it contains readers which work as expected and which Ludovic has. As is the case with OpenSC - we can only test what we have, and thus only support what we can test. So please fix my impression and help others who would want to know: how large is the sum of money one needs to pay? But keep in mind, that you as a company (or a manufacturer of hardware), who profit from people like Ludovic writing software that allows you to sell your products and make a profit, it is reasonable to expect that you either a) pay a premium and get some benefits b) not pay and be happy that your product works well with open source. -- @MartinPaljak.net +3725156495 _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list opensc-devel@lists.opensc-project.org http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel
