The author of XSane is not a member of the sane project. You would have to ask him about how he accepts patches. But I doubt he will remove features from XSane just for you. You could certainly fork XSane, but you would have to adhere to its license.<br>
<br>Are your product specific features compatible with the SANE API? What is the license of your backend.<br><br>allan<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, May 23, 2012 at 8:27 AM, Ganapati Hegde <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ganapati.hegde@celstream.com" target="_blank">ganapati.hegde@celstream.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Does your backend meet the SANE
API? Does it use the same license as the existing sane-backends? If so, we can
include it in sane-backends. <br>
<br>
The sane-backends package no longer includes any GUI frontends, so a front-end
would have to be distributed separately.<br>
