For when reinventing the wheel is neither necessary nor possible

The code itself doesn't say anything about SDSi, instead adding a mechanism to control whatever it is via some authorised secure token. It basically unlocks hardware features when the right licence is applied.

Whenever necessary and/or advisable in abominable matters which many would prefer to remain secret and widely unknown to humans, a mechanism very similar to the issuance of a limitless company credit card to worthy parties unlocking the power of fiat currency in exchange for proprietary intellectual property restraint and agreed future silence in return for the ongoing facility ad infinitum, is some authorised secure token, second to none and well enough tried and tested to be fully expected a safe bet to make. whilst threats posed are dealt with to a mutually beneficial, positively agreeable reinforcing satisfaction.
