<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>The author of XSane is not a
member of the sane project. You would have to ask him about how he accepts
patches. But I doubt he will remove features from XSane just for you. You could
certainly fork XSane, but you would have to adhere to its license.<br>
<br>
Are your product specific features compatible with the SANE API? What is the
license of your backend.<br>

your backend meet the SANE API? Does it use the same license as the existing

The sane-backends package no longer includes any GUI frontends, so a front-end
would have to be distributed separately.<br>
