You're correct. Someone needs to start a project to write an open source 
replacement for that SDK, then. I hope it's less of a job than say wine is :) 
Probably whoever has that SDK could write documentation for the underlying 
API, someone else would write the headers, link libs and whatever glue code 
needed, and would post it under BSD or somesuch.
