7 libfprint was originally developed as part of an academic project at the
8 University of Manchester with the aim of hiding differences between different
9 consumer fingerprint scanners and providing a single uniform API to application
10 developers. The ultimate goal of the fprint project is to make fingerprint
11 scanners widely and easily usable under common Linux environments.

28 We include bozorth3 from the US export controlled distribution. We have
29 determined that it is fine to ship bozorth3 in an open source project,
