NBIS is pretty complicated to update, seeing as we've made quite a few changes to get it to compile as a library. With those scripts, we can easily trim headers to remove functions we don't use, rename global variables, and do any sort of fixups that are necessary right now. In the future, removing unused NBIS functions might be as easy as updating that script, re-running it, and pushing the changes. Note that remove-function.lua is a very crude parser that only supports NBIS' style of declaration, with the return type on the same line as the function name. I wouldn't recommend trying to use it in another project. Callcatcher (https://github.com/caolanm/callcatcher) was also used to remove additional unused functions. |

libfprint ========= libfprint is part of the fprint project: https://fprint.freedesktop.org/ 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. The academic university project runs off a codebase maintained separately from this one, although I try to keep them as similar as possible (I'm not hiding anything in the academic branch, it's just the open source release contains some commits excluded from the academic project). THE UNIVERSITY OF MANCHESTER DOES NOT ENDORSE THIS THIS SOFTWARE RELEASE AND IS IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CODE CONTAINED WITHIN, OR ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY USING OR DISTRIBUTING THE SOFTWARE. Development does not happen on university computers and the project is not hosted at the university either. For more information on libfprint, supported devices, API documentation, etc., see the homepage: https://fprint.freedesktop.org/ 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: http://fingerprint.nist.gov/NBIS/index.html We include bozorth3 from the US export controlled distribution. We have determined that it is fine to ship bozorth3 in an open source project, see https://fprint.freedesktop.org/us-export-control.html
