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.
