I know, I know...

Perhaps it leads to the "solution" that the Linux distributors
agree to no longer distribute their proprietary stuff?

For example I would of course still distribute the free part
of Iscan in our iscan-free package but drop the packages which
contain proprietary stuff and add an explanatory message to
the YaST scanner config to direct the user to the Epson Avasys
web site if a proprietary model is used.
