Nick> Not true if they're just using SANE to provide backends for a<br>
|
|
Nick> proprietary SANE frontend. The standard SANE boilerplate<br>

|
|
Nick> statically into a proprietary application.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
True.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Nick> I think this is (for now) a good decision, because the SANE<br>
|
|
Nick> backends mostly work with low-level hardware driver stuff. In<br>
|
|
Nick> a differently structured operating system, their functionality<br>
|
|
Nick> might well be an OS driver module. So we have no reason to<br>
|
|
Nick> deny this functionality to proprietary software developers.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I for one would love to know what frontend they're using. If it's<br>
|
|
their own, great (and we should mention it on the web page).<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Nick> NB Although *linking* the backends to proprietary software is<br>
|
|
Nick> allowed, the GPL remains in force in every other way. If they<br>
|
|
Nick> find a HP bug and fix it in their static binary, they must<br>
|
|
Nick> provide source code for the fixed HP backend in order to be<br>
|
|
Nick> permitted to distribute it. More likely they'll choose to send<br>
|
|
Nick> the HP developer a fix, and ask that he integrate it...<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Correct. Note that the frontends are straight GPL (no exceptions),<br>
|
|
however.<br>
