This files attempts to clarify the licensing situation for the SANE

distribution. In case of doubt, the copyright information contained

@ -29,3 +29,20 @@ terms:
|
|||
The standard is considered to be in the public domain. Anyone is free
|
||||
to implement SANE interface conforming applications or libraries in
|
||||
any way he or she sees fit.
|

|

Frequently Asked Questions about the SANE licensing:
|
||||
|
||||
* Why don't you use the GNU LPGL ?
|
||||
|
||||
The reason SANE isn't licensed under the GNU LGPL is very simple: the
|
||||
GNU LGPL didn't exist at the time SANE was first released. So, the SANE
|
||||
Exception was added to the GNU GPL.
|
||||
|
||||
* Why don't you relicense SANE, now that the GNU LGPL is available ?
|
||||
|
||||
To relicense the various pieces of code composing SANE, each and every
|
||||
copyright holder needs to agree with the relicensing. Unfortunately, some
|
||||
of the (original) backend authors cannot be contacted any longer, for
|
||||
various reasons; not to mention each and every contributor who sent in a
|
||||
patch. This effectively makes it impossible for the SANE Project to
|
||||
relicense SANE.
