In my case, there are practical benefits to free software since I don't have an x86-processor available, let alone one with access to windows or even wine. Using binary-only DLL:s is currently a major hassle for me. (I do have some ideological reasons, too, but that's not the showstopper in this case.)I'm pretty sure the license of the DLL in question allows for gratis and relatively unrestricted codistrubiton with Colin's code, whatever free license he might release it under. The point of using it is that it's probably very close to the ideal algorithm, and you get it with no effort. I imagine a naive Leiter cardfile system would be 30% less efficient.
To Colin: Are you familiar with the program memaid, available in debian/ubuntu as memaid-pyqt?
