Considering that we have an userland application that drives the chip, 
shouldn't it be relatively straight forward to reverse engineer the protocol? 
After all, the kernel could easily log what the daemon does. That should 
easily fall under clean room reverse engineering and thus be legal.

But of course it would be better if Global Locate would simply provide it...
