The good names depend on what "support" means in this context. I don't know that. Do you?

I disagree if I understand you correctly, but I am still not sure if I do.. :) libccid is an open source project, so can be assumed to have an open attitude. That said, things still cost money so if "supported" translates to some kind of commitment from anyone in the community for that project then of course there can be costs for listing a hardware as supported. And maybe those costs are negotiated on case by case basis, which is fine, but I see no reason to not make the process public. I'm less interested in the sums involved since I'm no reader vendor, but I am very curious to understand the process that you are describing, because it doesn't really fit my previous understanding - so maybe I overlooked something that you know more about, and I don't think it's a problem to share that knowledge? > Sure, there is a difference between supported and reviewed. "reviewed" is another term that I am now not at all sure if I understand correctly in this context. :) > But the users should know the difference and not believe that the > only "supported" devices are those from vendor which pay. I agree that it is important to have good definitions of terms. > Anyway, I am very grateful to Ludovic work. Me too! :) > Are we really going to argue about that? IMHO, this is not > interesting and I will not answer other emails. Sorry for that. I don't think we are arguing. It's good that you started this discussion, because it seems to me that there is a misunderstanding and I certainly want to have a clear understanding. //Peter _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list opensc-devel@lists.opensc-project.org http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel
