There are several other vCard modules for Python, but most are incomplete
or don't work against real world vCards (ie the ones ouput by real programs
almost all of which are broken according to the standards)

I am quite happy for modules to be taken out and made standalone
as long as someone else maintains them.  ie if BitPim is maintaining
them then they'll just stay part of the BitPim source.

Since all the code is under the GPL, you can just take it and do this
anyway.  In most cases, you'll probably want it under a Pythonic license
instead.  Use the cvs annotate/blame and history to find out who wrote
the code.  In the case of code written by me, I am happy to relicense it
under any of the OSI certified ones.
