This files attempts to clarify the licensing situation for the SANE
distribution. In case of doubt, the copyright information contained
in each file overrides what is said here.
SANE consists of three parts each of which has its own licensing
terms:
* The frontend programs.
These programs are generally protected by the GNU General Public
License. (See file COPYING.)
* The backend libraries.
Backend libraries are protected by the GNU General Public License (see
file COPYING), but as an exception, it is permissible to link against
such a library without affecting the licensing status of the program
that uses the libraries. For details, see the copyright notice at the
head of the backend files (e.g., backend/dll.c).
* The SANE API and network protocol as put forth in the standard document.
The standard is considered to be in the public domain. Anyone is free
to implement SANE interface conforming applications or libraries in
any way he or she sees fit.

The following is the header from the file backend/dll.c:

As a special exception, the authors of SANE give permission for
additional uses of the libraries contained in this release of SANE.
The exception is that, if you link a SANE library with other files
to produce an executable, this does not by itself cause the
resulting executable to be covered by the GNU General Public
License. Your use of that executable is in no way restricted on
account of linking the SANE library code into it.
This exception does not, however, invalidate any other reasons why
the executable file might be covered by the GNU General Public
License.
If you submit changes to SANE to the maintainers to be included in
a subsequent release, you agree by submitting the changes that
those changes may be distributed with this exception intact.
If you write modifications of your own for SANE, it is your choice
whether to permit this exception to apply to your modifications.
If you do not wish that, delete this exception notice.
This file implements a dynamic linking based SANE meta backend. It
allows managing an arbitrary number of SANE backends by using
dynamic linking to load backends on demand. */
