<i>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; On Fri, 11 Dec 1998 15:59:33 +0100 (MET), Lars Prieske &lt;<a href="mailto:lars@planet.de">lars@planet.de</a>&gt; said:</i><br>
<p>
Lars&gt; Why 'sanei_config.h' will not be installed?<br>
Lars&gt; I need sanei_config_open().<br>
<p>
The sanei routines are not part of the SANE API. The "i" at the end<br>
of "sanei" means "internal", i.e., stuff that can change out of sync<br>
from the SANE API version numbering scheme. Also, note that if a<br>
project uses any sanei routine, that project must be released under<br>
the GPL.<br>
<p>
To summarize:<br>
<p>
- if you do a non-free project:<br>
don't use sanei routines at all (this is a legal requirement)<br>
<p>
- if you do a free project distributed separately from SANE:<br>
cut &amp; paste sanei routines that you need from the<br>
SANE distribution (this is to protect you from changes<br>
in sanei routines that would break your frontend/backend)<br>
<p>
- if you do a free project distributed as part of SANE:<br>
just use what's there---the SANE maintainers will take<br>
care to keep your source in sync with the sanei routines<br>
