[sane-devel] Incorporating Brother Linux scanner drivers in next SANE?

[Halim Issa]

Hello,

With Brother's SANE drivers for Linux being GPL, is there any hope of having 
them incorporated into the next mainline SANE release?

The full driver source is available here:
http://www.brother.com/cgi-bin/agreement/agreement.cgi?dlfile=http://solutions.brother.com/Library/sol/printer/linux/rpmfiles/sane_source/brscan-src-0.2.3.tar.gz&lang=English_source

and the information on the drivers is here:
http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/sane_drivers.html

From an end-user perspective, having the drivers in the main line would be a 
major plus. 

The driver works well, but unfortunately it relies on the deprecated /proc/usb 
system.

Thank you for listening.
