Did they suddenly relicense the entire iscan code under GPL ? That'd
be a really good news.

Last time I had a look at the iscan software, the backend relied on 2
binary libraries for some of the scanners. iscan itself was licensed
under an open license specific to Epson, but it was quite a good
license.
