## History **LibFPrint** was originally developed as part of an academic project at the **[University Of Manchester]**. It aimed to hide the differences between consumer fingerprint scanners and provide a single uniform API to application developers. ## Goal The ultimate goal of the **FPrint** project is to make fingerprint scanners widely and easily usable under common Linux environments. ## License `Section 6` of the license states that for compiled works that use this library, such works must include **LibFPrint** copyright notices alongside the copyright notices for the other parts of the work. **LibFPrint** includes code from **NIST's** **[NBIS]** software distribution. We include **Bozorth3** from the **[US Export Controlled]** distribution, which we have determined to be fine being shipped in an open source project.
