|

=========
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||

||||

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,
|
||||
