The license of the plugin packages has not been changed since they
were split off of the iscan "source" package way back when we released
iscan-2.0.0.  And even before we separated the plugins into their own
packages they were available under the same license as they are now.

The name of the license has changed a couple of times (following
changes of company name) but the contents of the license has not
changed since it was first used in iscan-1.5.0, released towards
the end of October 2002.

You must have looked a very long time ago ;-P
