Description:
libdmtx is open source software for reading and writing Data Matrix 2D barcodes
on Linux, Unix, OS X, Windows, and mobile devices. At its core libdmtx is
a shared library, allowing C/C++ programs to use its capabilities without
restrictions or overhead.

The included utility programs, dmtxread and dmtxwrite, provide the official
interface to libdmtx from the command line, and also serve as a good reference
for programmers who wish to write their own programs that interact with
libdmtx. All of the software in the libdmtx package is distributed under
the LGPLv2 and can be used freely under these terms.

Notes:
- if my understanding of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Matrix#Patent_issues
is correct then there is no patent issue that could affect including this
package in Fedora.
- bindings for Python/PHP/Java/... exist in the upstream sources, but are not
built yet as QLandKarteGT needs only the library, but they can be packaged in
some next version
