Actually it's easier than that:
From the RBT:
"Cyberware cannot be swapped between Runners, and cannot be replaced
or removed once it is deployed on a Runner."
From the spoiler list:
Skwaaaark
Type: Runner
Rarity: Rare
Description: Troll Cyborg
Notes: 10¥. Melee-3. 8/8 (A2). Stamina, Anti-social.
----->>>> May only use Gear/Cyberware cards. <<<<------
All Gear cards given to Skwaaaaaark! are free.

Also, I tried tracking it down, but I can't find it off hand, I recall
some time ago reading a "ruling" that since skillsofts aren't
considered cyberware Skwaaark can't use them. He can still have the
chipjack, but nothing to put in it...
