That was roughly 14 months before Sigma's acquisition. Why just Foveon-related code and not any other Bayer or FC sensor decoding ?


Good question!

I remember this was discussed several moons ago. But ... I am not 100% sure about the reason.

It was speculated that it was a demand from Sigma. But I dont remember any conclusions.

What I do remember though is that this irritating GPL addition made me make X3F tools
