Hi guys, my name is Matt. I'm obviously new to the community. My nick
on irc is "syn-ack" and I'm planning on packaging the Fingerprint-GUI
application for Fedora. That is, if you guys will have me, :)

This application is works via the fprint libs as well as having a
convenient gui to assist you in assigning and recording your
prints.... I used this application during the time I was on Debian and
was somewhat disappointed to see that it wasn't here on Fedora as
well. Where this app differs from straight fprint, is that it adds
support for UPEK/Authentec devices. Therein lies a small issue.... The
UPEK drivers. while open are considered non-free and as such I'm
wondering how I should go about the packaging. Should I break it into
a "Free" and "non-free" component, as is done in Debian and/or Ubuntu,
or is that sill going to cause issues? I'm also looking into maybe
contacting UPEK and opening discussions on maybe re licensing it into
a compatible licence; one in which conforms to Copy-left so that it
will no longer be an issue. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for taking the time to read and respond with your suggestions.


Matt
