Hsf driver for linux is written has a crappy driver. You can do the same
in user land and better, like the smartlink driver. When you see
have they parse configuration (1 file per variable, just to represent the
same value found in the windows registry), i think the rest of the driver is
the same. But the most important problem is when you do a modinfo on the
driver, you see the licence is 'GPL', because they have put a GPL\0blabla. So
i consider that the driver is GPL as spelled by the modinfo, and you have the
right to modify the driver [this is my opinion, and don't do anything with
this].
