[sane-devel] sane-devel Digest, Vol 43, Issue 64

[Richard C. Johnson]

Allan,

What is the status of available GPL source code for the avision-type
systems? We expect to base our voting system on this code and it
simply has to (1) be available under GPL and (2) work. Is the Avision.c
code with copyright essential to a SANE avision solution?

Thanks,

-- Dick
