License          : GPL + SANE exception, GPL + exception for the epkowa libs



On Debian systems, the complete text of the GNU GPL can be found in the
/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL file.


SANE exception:

   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.


Exception for the epkowa libs:

   Linking the EPKOWA SANE backend statically or dynamically with
   other modules is making a combined work based on the EPKOWA SANE
   backend.  Thus, the terms and conditions of the GNU General Public
   License cover the whole combination.

   As a special exception, the copyright holders of the EPKOWA SANE
   backend give you permission to link the EPKOWA SANE backend with
   independent modules that communicate with the EPKOWA SANE backend
   solely through the "Interpreter" interface, regardless of the
   license terms of these independent modules, and to copy and
   distribute the resulting combined work under terms of your choice,
   provided that every copy of the combined work is accompanied by a
   complete copy of the source code of the EPKOWA SANE backend (the
   version of the EPKOWA SANE backend used to produce the combined
   work), being distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public
   License plus this exception.  An independent module is a module
   which is not derived from or based on the EPKOWA SANE backend.

   Note that people who make modified versions of the EPKOWA SANE
   backend are not obligated to grant this special exception for their
   modified versions; it is their choice whether to do so.  The GNU
   General Public License gives permission to release a modified
   version without this exception; this exception also makes it
   possible to release a modified version which carries forward this
   exception.
