Once all SANE code was in one package, then there was a split to -backends and -frontends but japi was kept in -backends. So once the GPLed code has been found ok I think it can get part of sane-frontends. Concerning japi I think we should pack it into a .tar.gz file, put in on the ftp server and link to it somewhere in case somebody is still interested. Then it can be removed from sane-backends CVS. > Ah, that is good. Actually we ideally would like a HTML link. They > will sponsor maintenance and answer questions on it. I'll just put it on the fronetnds page similar to the other frontends with a link to you and an explanation that the code is part of sane-frontends. Bye, Henning
