This will change soon.  The advantage of OpenSC is the working pkcs-15
code and clear origin of the code.

I have not looked at recent versions but I discussed the license issue
with Matthias quite a while back, the current tarball has still the
old BSD one, though.

There are also parts taken with permission from Peter Gutmann's
cryptlib; I guess Peter would be so kind to give permission for LGPL
too.  OTOH, there are some exciting OpenSC developments going on.  I
am going to discuss this with Juha at the NordU/Usenix.
