Not true if they're just using SANE to provide backends for a proprietary<br>
|
|||
|
|
SANE frontend. The standard SANE boilerplate includes an explicit<br>
|
|||
|
|
exemption for the backends when linked statically into a proprietary<br>
|
|||
|
|
application.<br>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
I think this is (for now) a good decision, because the SANE backends mostly<br>
|
|||
|
|
work with low-level hardware driver stuff. In a differently structured<br>
|
|||
|
|
operating system, their functionality might well be an OS driver module.<br>
|
|||
|
|
So we have no reason to deny this functionality to proprietary software<br>
|
|||
|
|
developers.<br>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
NB Although *linking* the backends to proprietary software is allowed, the<br>
|
|||
|
|
GPL remains in force in every other way. If they find a HP bug and fix it<br>
|
|||
|
|
in their static binary, they must provide source code for the fixed HP<br>
|
|||
|
|
backend in order to be permitted to distribute it. More likely they'll<br>
|
|||
|
|
choose to send the HP developer a fix, and ask that he integrate it...<br>
