The company contracted the zetes company for that, I think.
Zetes as in "sponsor of the new opensc.org server" or in
Hoeben.S@Zetes.com (one of the few very active developers of
opensc).

Oh, I think opensc should also work with the Finnish and Swedish
cards, and I think someone is working on the Estonian cards as well.
That would be a lot more than 10 million cards :-)
