Steve: I think you got this feedback elsewhere in another discussion, but for the record I'd like to clarify here that one does NOT require permission to port a module from Drupal to Backdrop CMS. However, we do encourage folks to contact the Drupal 7 module maintainer as a courtesy and invite them to help with the port or at least inform them of your intention.
Here is a sample module that does the required task.

I'm still working on it and testing it. But, initial tests are good. ...

I've just downloaded and converted with the Coder_Upgrade module and the D7 uc_feeds module and it worked... Yeah me!!!!
I'll look into messaging the original provider of the D7 module and see if I can get permission to officially move it across to BD
Watch this space!
I went ahead and ran it through coder upgrade myself and it also worked for me.
I have not issues a full release yet, so it is not on BackdropCMS.org. But you can download and use it directly from Github.

EDIT: It is now on BackdropCMS.org
