Is Vuescan Still Free for Linux Personal Use?

[J. Teske]

I'm still trying to get my Epson 3170 working in Linux (with no luck
so far, but admittedly I am something of a Linux neophyte.) I have
been trying various software packages, Epson's Iscan, Sane, and I
would like to try VueScan. Ed Hamrick wrote here a couple months ago
that the standard edition could be used at no cost for personal use on
Linux. I would like to try it, but I haven't figured out how to do
that since there is a reference to using the unlocking code. I have no
objection of course to paying for this, and I suspect I'll buy the
professional edition in fall when I do more scanning (I take pictures
in the summer) but in the interim, I'd like to just try Standard
Vuescan while I am educating myself in Linux, particularly while I am
trying to get my scanner to work with that OS. BTW I am using Fedora
Core 2 at the moment.

I made the Standard Edition non-free again about a month ago. I
had thought that making the Standard Edition free on Linux would
generate more business for the Professional Edition on Linux, but
it didn't.

And you are very entitled to do so. Your program is excellent and well
worth the money, I have seen it in use. I am probably going to
purchase as soon as I buy my Nikon LS-5000 scanner later this year.
