=========

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.

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:

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,
