I've not contributed to SANE myself (yet, I hope to get a backend working<br>
|
||
soon if noone beats me to it, but work is not progressing) but let me<br>
|
||
suggest the following:<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Parts GNU, parts something else. That is I don't think anyone would have<br>
|
||
a problem with a Backend being GNU. I would like to see a useable<br>
|
||
implimention that can be distributed anouther way. Perhaps a artistic or<br>
|
||
BSD style license as an alternative, but just applying to peices. <br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
What I'm trying to propose is that assuming someday we have a working MAC<br>
|
||
and Windows frontend, a manufacture can take our stuff, compile a backend<br>
|
||
for their new scanner, put their name on it (with credit to us in the<br>
|
||
about box) and ship drivers for all operating systems easially. If our<br>
|
||
backend is good enough, it would save them significant effort, while also<br>
|
||
giving them the ability to put "Network compatable" on the box. <br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Again, let me remind people that the protcol already follows this model,<br>
|
||
I'd like to see the option of including some code. For the backends it<br>
|
||
really isn't a big deal since each backend is by nature different. For<br>
|
||
the frontends and middleware, it would help SANE get accepted as a<br>
|
||
standard to allow it to be this easially sold.<br>
