I did some searching and found Epson corp.'s sane backend and iscan software, which is, or appears to be, GPL-safe. It's at http://www.epkowa.co.jp/english/linux_e/index.html . It includes the libsane-epkowa backend, which solved the problem I had with the ADF prematurely declaring itself out of paper. iscan (the GUI scanning software) is fine, but no particular advantage over xsane.
