It's the same one that's there now - the GNU General Public License as 
published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the 
License, or (at your option) any later version.

Their developer's kit comprised of the sane interface file (lexmark.c & 
lexmark.h). From these were calls to C++ code, which called functions in 
object files. They would not supply the source code for the object 
files. Of course the object files were for a different scanner than I 
had and didn't work. So, I threw away their C++ code and object files 
and used their sane files as a basis for writing my own backend.
