Nor I. It's an interesting situation: snprintf.c seems to have=20 been re-(dual-)licenced under both Artistic and GPL2+OpenSSL=20 exception. However, the version shipped with xsane is older (perhaps xsane=20 itself is, even). I guess we can just do what Trisquel does and replace it with a=20 newer version. There's also some talk of a =E2=80=99system snprintf=E2=80= =99 that=20 may or may not do the job without having to provide our own=20 replacement. Something to investigate. > [0]:=20 > https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#ArtisticLicense Thanks, T G-R [1]:=20 https://devel.trisquel.info/trisquel/package-helpers/merge_requests/12
