and I quote "Tesseract is a commercial quality OCR engine originally developed at Hewlett-Packard between 1985 and 1995. In 1995, this engine was among the top three evaluated by UNLV <http://www.isri.unlv.edu/ISRI/OCRtk> (link's dead - read background here<http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/TestingTesseract>). In 2005, Hewlett-Packard and UNLV open-sourced and it is now freely available under the Apache 2.0<http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html>license. Most notably, this means that you *CAN* use tesseract in a commercial product *WITHOUT* releasing the sources. That means that you can only *politely ask* to see them... keep this in mind in the forums!" unquote is it possible that , I give my contributions to Tesseract , and still , its legally permissible that the code can be used for commecial purpose without releasing the sources ? -Sibi _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
