There is at least 1 effort underway to reverse engineer it, although I
don't have much time to work on it. IMO It would be good if such
companies were consistently shown that we certainly don't need them to
write drivers for us and even if they go out of their way, there isn't
much they can do to stop us from writing them ourselves.
