Well, as we already have a document, we can use guerrilla
tactics. Just code the driver without credits and let it be used
as a module. Post it via deja news and let the cartel members
send out the guys to search the author(s). Unless we use paranoid
(ala X-Files) approaches, nobody will care'bout it.
