=========
|
|
|
|
libfprint is part of the fprint project:
|
|
http://www.reactivated.net/fprint
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
For more information on libfprint, supported devices, API documentation, etc.,

libfprint is licensed under the GNU LGPL version 2.1. See the COPYING file
|
|
for the license text.
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
the AUTHORS file.
|
|
|
|
libfprint includes code from NIST's NBIS software distribution:

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