<i>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; On Sun, 13 Dec 1998 22:18:37 +0100 (MET), Ole Aamot &lt;<a href="mailto:oleaa@ifi.uio.no">oleaa@ifi.uio.no</a>&gt; said:</i><br>
<p>
Ole&gt; I'm co-developing gPhoto^ with Scott Fritzinger, and I was<br>
Ole&gt; wondering whether or not SANE will be released under the terms<br>
Ole&gt; of the GNU GPL.<br>
<p>
SANE _is_ GPL (some parts are less restrictive, details are in the<br>
appended LICENSE file).<br>

This files attempts to clarify the licensing situation for the SANE<br>
distribution. In case of doubt, the copyright information contained<br>
in each file overrides what is said here.<br>
<p>
SANE consists of three parts each of which has its own licensing<br>
terms:<br>
<p>
* The frontend programs.<br>
<p>
These programs are generally protected by the GNU General Public<br>
License. (See file COPYING.)<br>
<p>
* The backend libraries.<br>
<p>
Backend libraries are protected by the GNU General Public License (see<br>
file COPYING), but as an exception, it is permissible to link against<br>
such a library without affecting the licensing status of the program<br>
that uses the libraries. For details, see the copyright notice at the<br>
head of the backend files (e.g., backend/dll.c).<br>
<p>
Note that some of the backends have additional licensing constraints.<br>
E.g., the DC210 backend uses JPG code that is licensed as described<br>
in backend/djpeg.README.gz.<br>
<p>
* The SANE API and network protocol as put forth in the standard document.<br>
<p>
The standard is considered to be in the public domain. Anyone is free<br>
to implement SANE interface conforming applications or libraries in<br>
any way he or she sees fit.<br>
