## 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.
