Jenson- The SANE project certainly could accept your code for
inclusion into our repository, if a few conditions are met. Namely:
1. The code must be completely open and suitable for use with our
license. No binary or precompiled code, other than possible firmware
uploads.
...
Isn't requiring anything beyond the point 1 a teensy bit over-reaching?
Perhaps you are right. In order to include the source in
sane-backends, it certainly must meet points 1,2,3 and 5. If Plustek
Inc is only able to comply with #1, some other developer will have to
perform the other steps, and hopefully point #4 as well. But we have
to be realistic about finding someone like that.
in the good old days I did a similar thing for the Plustek backend.
In fact I had an NDA and the allowance to use their code - in fact
Windoze driver code. Additionally they spent quite a lot of test
devices and that was it.
The best solution would be to have a developer in Taiwan, but honestly
I doubt that. But - let's hear how Jenson and team is planning to
contribute.
However - it's a good thing to hear from a manufacturer.
Best regards,
Gerhard
