I uploaded the package and got a reject from paultag. In his eyes a 
license was non-free. I don't agree with him, but I didn't start a 
discussion as I also got information from the ZWave alliance. One argument 
to sell ZWave products is their certification and such everything works 
together with everything else. As openzwave does not really comply with 
their specification and even does not support every part of ZWave (e.g. 
the security stuff seems to be missing), the Alliance would be very 
critical of openzwave. If there will be complaints of users, I guess they 
will enforce their trademark.

So basically I stopped working on the package.
