The code that's currently used is based on the autoconf manual (from 1997). I've found a comment in the Changelog. As this is a very small piece of code and the autoconf authors state it should be used in the program I don't see any problem to use GPL + SANE exceptions for it. Meanwhile all files but sanei/linux_sg3_err.h have been changed to GPL+ SANE exception. I'm waiting for the response of the sg_utils author before I decide what to do with that file. We only need the #defines anyway. I've found some backends that don't use the SANE exception, some of them maybe unintentional. I'll write a sepearate email about this topic. Bye, Henning
