The people from Hi5 discussed something about it in a previous thread; the basic problem is to convert the XML of a iGoogle gadget into standard javascript. Of course you can do it by running it across gmodules.com, and then recovering all the .js files and also editing out the google footnote, but should it be legal? You can also follow google/gmodules rules and to incorporate the whole module in your webpage; not sure what happens with opensocial objects then.
Thirdly, the gmodules javascript API is really a small one, so one could try to duplicate it with a Open Source library. Is there some project planning to do it?
