Uhuh, I was blind, there's MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") there, so all should
be fine. So... there are no legal problems and it is all "simple
matter of programming". Now... if someone lent me the PCMCIA/SIM
combination for a month, I guess I should be able to get it going in
2.6.16, and I should be able to get it into shape for mainline, too...
