I thought CF was a more 'open' standard than SD, which had licensing
concerns and IP worries?

No clue where this idea in my head came from, however a Google search
turned up a couple of interesting bits of information:

Note the bit about open source drivers being prohibited

Then I decided to check Wikipedia, to see if it had a better entry...
deja vu!

I wonder who is copying whom...
