Actually, I'd appreciate if you would remove sanei_scsi from Vuescan. I remember a bug report from a Vuescan user a few years ago who stumbled over a sanei_scsi bug. I could fix this bug quickly -- but the poor user was out of luck: you wrote that you hadn't had enough time to link the fixed sanei_scsi version into a new Vuescan release... That was a reason why I always considered to start a discussion if Sane shouldn't switch to the LGPL: It would allow Vuescan users to link a fixed Sane library into Vuscan and other proprietary programs for themselves. > > This is also an "official request" to Ren?

So your request may be formally valid, but, frankly, it looks a bit weird. Abel
