<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am an engineer from Kyocera and we are
writing the SANE support for Kyocera home based MFP devices,
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We came across a problem that needs
feedback from SANE community,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">our situation is, all Kyocera scanner uses
a 3<sup>rd</sup> party API for bank notes scanning prevention,
this library is confidential and cannot be distributed along
with the source code. Even Kyocera driver engineers does not
have access to the source code of the said library.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So we are left with the following options;</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span
style="">1.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New
Roman"">
</span></span>Distribute Kyocera backends(*.so,etc) as
binaries only.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span
style="">2.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New
Roman"">
</span></span>Include the backend source code to sane
distribution and just link the 3<sup>rd</sup> party API</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is the above option allowed in SANE? </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If not then can the community suggest a
better approach for this?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have no problem in including the backend
source code to the standard SANE distribution if not for the 3<sup>rd</sup>
party library I mention above.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hope you guys can help us on this.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks</p>

Hello,<br>

Can it scan without it ?<br>
