This is the way (i think) : document the product about its
MMC-compatible features and state somewhere in a FAQ or something that
SDCards are MMC-compatible.
I think this is 100% legal but what should i do about the included
card ? I have to sell the product with a preprogrammed card and from
what is written on sdcard.org i am not allowed to do it unless i am a
member of that dreaded organization
