Hello, The Musclecard applet will definitely not be proprietary. This is the point of this applet is to work across multiple vendor cards and on several operating systems. I currently have a Card Management Application running on Windows 2000, Solaris, Linux, HP-UX, and OSX that works on the Musclecard. It's very powerful, and very delicate right now. If I released the sources right now there would be hundreds of variations of this applet, which I want to avoid. There will be an appropriate time to release the sources. You will notice a strange licensing scheme on the applet. I want to promote interoperability at the card level - this has been my goal now for 4 years and myself and others have spent months on this, but I do want to avoid either many versions of this in circulation, or the possibility of it being promoted by a single corporation, thus losing its 3rd party nature.
Sorry about the powerpoint presentation. I've run out of fake handles to use on adobe.com's trial powerpoint->pdf conversion. Please feel free to contact me in person if you want to discuss more, or you can call me: 765-532-6006 is my cell. The best I can sy is not to be nervous. This will be open.
