iscan license question

Hi!

Can iscan parts covered by this license
http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/license/EAPL_e.html
be included in Fedora Extras?

The rest of iscan is covered either by GPL or LGPL. Here's an extract from
README:
[...]
"Image Scan! for Linux" contains the following parts:

  iscan                 the program you use to scan your images
  libsane-epkowa        an improved driver for EPSON scanners
  libesmod              a proprietary module used by iscan
  libesint*             proprietary module used by libsane-epkowa
  esfw*.bin             proprietary data used by libesint*

The latter modules are provided (in object code form only) under the
terms of the license agreement provided in `non-free/EAPL.en.txt'.
The modules are linked against libraries from the `glibc' package
which is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License.

The `iscan' program is covered by the GNU General Public License with
a special exception that allows linking with the `libesmod' module.

The libsane-epkowa driver is released under the same conditions as
the SANE backends, that is under the GNU General Public License with a
special exception that allows linking a SANE library with other files
to produce an executable.

The files non-free/esfw41.bin and non-free/esfw52.bin are distributed
under the terms spelled out in the non-free/LICENSE.EPSON.en.txt file.

Unless explicitly noted otherwise in the file itself, all other files
in the non-free/ directory are copyright SEIKO EPSON Corporation and
distributed under the terms of the EPSON AVASYS Public License (see
non-free/EAPL.en.txt).
