Why fork?

This repository is a fork of the PCSC lite project (gitlab), focused on the needs of Teleport.

Teleport uses PCSC-lite for both OSS and Enterprise builds, the latter of which cannot depend on GNU GLP v3 copyrighted code. This fork exists to Remove GNU GLP v3 copyrighted code which does not provide functionality needed by Teleport.

We do intend to contribute widely valuable changes to the original repo, if such changes are made.

The master branch reflects the upstream master.

The teleport branch is the default and reflects the library version used by Teleport. There is no concept of semantic versioning for the teleport branch, it rolls forward as Teleport needs it to.

You are looking at the teleport branch now.
