|
## History
|
|
|
|
**LibFPrint** was originally developed as part of an
|
|
academic project at the **[University Of Manchester]**.
|
|
|
|
It aimed to hide the differences between consumer
|
|
fingerprint scanners and provide a single uniform
|
|
API to application developers.
|
|
|
|
## Goal
|
|
|
|
The ultimate goal of the **FPrint** project is to make
|
|
fingerprint scanners widely and easily usable under
|
|
common Linux environments.
|
|
|
|
## License
|
|
|
|
`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.
|
|
|
|
**LibFPrint** includes code from **NIST's** **[NBIS]** software distribution.
|
|
|
|
We include **Bozorth3** from the **[US Export Controlled]**
|
|
distribution, which we have determined to be fine
|
|
being shipped in an open source project.
