libfprint ========= 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., see the homepage: http://www.reactivated.net/fprint/Libfprint libfprint is licensed under the GNU LGPL version 2.1. See the COPYING file for the license text. 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 http://reactivated.net/fprint/US_export_control

For unsupported devices, please see/edit https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/wiki/-/wikis/Unsupported%20Devices
Do **not** open issues for unsupported devices that are already listed in the wiki page. For other devices, please simply add them to the wiki rather than opening a bug report here. Opening an issue to ask for a driver will not have any effect other than taking time from developers who need to close the issue again.
