How can you license the correct formatting process and create a sweet recurring value stream for the shareholders of the SD Card Association if you open source this?

Are you a communist? /s

Jokes aside. I'd love to see this standardized and widely available with a document why SD cards needs to be formatted this way, but I think everyone is afraid that someone's patent or secret or something will be revealed, and its library form is probably, really a revenue stream for them.

Shortsighted, I may say.
