Epson Pulls Linux Software Following GPL Violations

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the back-to-the-drawing-board dept.

    GPL violations has (should read have) caused Epson to yank their free downloads of their ImageScan! and Photo Image Print System software for Linux

    If Epson used a normal license instead of a confusing one like GPL they wouldn't have had to waste money correcting this problem.
