That's a pointer to the Linux driver, which was contributed by ISD
themselves.  You'd want to find out if it's OK by the license to modify or
reuse data from that driver.

Since it is a linux driver and they are not directly portable, you could
potentially use the information from it, if the license allows, to write a
new driver.

The linux usb code isn't that dense, but I also haven't seen how hard it
is to create CAM attachments in our code.

I don't have an Archos so writing anything useful would be hard...
