Since it's GPL software, of course I have no objection.  :-)

But despite appearances the code is in fact being actively maintained; I'm
in the middle of a substantial rewrite to be more standards compliant.
Right now it handles Netscape-generated vcards fine, but can't parse some
others generated by different MUAs.  I expect to have this fixed very soon.

So instead of copying the file, you might want to provide a link to the
canonical source so that users will find the latest version automatically:

  http://www.splode.com/~friedman/software/emacs-lisp/src/vcard.el

There is a description of the file and other related modules around:

  http://www.splode.com/~friedman/software/emacs-lisp/index.html#vcard

Linking either one or both of them seems reasonable; I do not expect those
urls to change.
