You only need to use the Wacom API on Windows and Mac OS X.  With the  
Linux kernel, Wacom support is part of the Linux input system, and is  
totally free.  No NDAs, no restrictions other than you have to share  
like the GPL says :D

[hid] works with wacoms in Linux, it is just that Debian and Ubuntu  
have been working on tightening up the security with each new release,  
so you have to go thru extra tricks to get data via HID for something  
other than the X server.  I don't know the latest tricks, anyone?
