Hi Alexander,
I've been letting you be aggressive for a while now!
he's an intern who wrote the eSCL backend, he did a great job.
ADF is a working copy.
You examine my code to find the difference that makes the Canon IR 
scanners work and at the same time you accuse me of plagiarism.
I agree with Till, community work is good for everyone!
Knowing that escl is defined, we don't invent anything.
Many things are very similar in our code.
I've decided not to answer any more questions unless you're 
constructive!
Sincerely
