<h2><a name="s6">6 SANE and Commercial Applications/Drivers</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>What's our position with respect to commercial SANE drivers or
|
|
applications? In the spirit of the GNU Public License, it is
|
|
preferrable to have the source for SANE programs available.
|
|
However, it is permissible to write a dynamically loaded,
|
|
commercial SANE driver on Linux and other platforms that support
|
|
dynamic loading. (Drivers are always dynamically loaded, so this
|
|
doesn't cause any extra work.) By the same token, it is also proper
|
|
to write a commercial application that links with the libsane.so
|
|
shared library. The basic ideas supporting this position are:
|
|
|
|
<p><ol>
|
|
|
|
<p><li>Healthy competition between commercial and free programs is an
|
|
asset, not a liability.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>The more wide-spread use SANE finds, the better for the
|
|
Linux/Unix community.

|
|

<p></ol>
