libfprint was originally developed as part of an academic project at the
|
|
|
|
|
University of Manchester with the aim of hiding differences between different
|
|
|
|
|
consumer fingerprint scanners and providing a single uniform API to application
|
|
|
|
|
developers. The ultimate goal of the fprint project is to make fingerprint
|
|
|
|
|
scanners widely and easily usable under common Linux environments.

Section 6 of the license states that for compiled works that use this

library, such works must include libfprint copyright notices alongside the

|
|
|
|
copyright notices for the other parts of the work. We have attempted to
|
|
|
|
|
make this process slightly easier for you by grouping these all in one place:

We include bozorth3 from the US export controlled distribution. We have
|
|
|
|
|
determined that it is fine to ship bozorth3 in an open source project,
