Description Radek Podgorny 2004-01-02 12:30:33 UTC 
Hi,

the linux version of the VueScan GUI for scanners has been gone free for non-commercial use...

The latest version is 7.6.72...

I'll be very happy to see it in portage...

I've had a look at the homepage of this program and as it appears to me the free edtion of VueScan is more some kind of trialversion because it does some watermarking on the images you scan. Furthermore it's not published under any license.

Thus, I don't recommend to add this to portage.
