You need to be addressing Canon as they hold patent/copywrite and have failed to release specs to open source developers. The difficulty in reverse engineering their proprietary algorithms w/o becoming liable is apparently quite great. Would you consider paying their fines if they occur? You could vote with your pocket book in another manner, do not buy Canon. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode ___________________________________________________________________________ darktable developer mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-dev+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
