The information on this page is copied from the <a
|
|
href="LICENSE">LICENSE</a> file that is included in the sane-backends
|
|
distribution. It's only changed to use HTML and some links were added.
|

</p>
|

|
|
This files attempts to clarify the licensing situation for the SANE
|
|
distribution. In case of doubt, the copyright information contained in
|
|
each file overrides what is said here.

|

<p>
|
|
SANE consists of three parts each of which has its own licensing
|
|
terms:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt>
|
|
The frontend programs.
|
|
</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
These programs are generally protected by the GNU General Public
|
|
License. (See file <a href="COPYING">COPYING</a>.)
|
|
</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt>
|
|
The backend libraries.
|
|
</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Most backend libraries are protected by the GNU General Public License (see file <a
|
|
href="COPYING">COPYING</a>), but as an exception, it is permissible to link against such a
|
|
library without affecting the licensing status of the program that uses the libraries.
|
|
For details, see the copyright notice at the head of the backend files (e.g., <a
|
|
href="dll.c">backend/dll.c</a>).<br>
|
|
|
|
Note that not all of the backends apply the exception and that some have additional
|
|
licensing constraints. E.g., the DC210 backend uses JPG code that is licensed as
|
|
described in <a href="README.djpeg">README.djpeg</a>.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt>
|
|
The SANE API and network protocol as put forth in the standard document.
|
|
</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
The <a href="html/">standard</a> 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.
