Nor I. It's an interesting situation: snprintf.c seems to have been re-(dual-)licenced under both Artistic and GPL2+OpenSSL exception.
However, the version shipped with xsane is older (perhaps xsane itself is, even).
I guess we can just do what Trisquel does and replace it with a newer version. There's also some talk of a ’system snprintf’ that may or may not do the job without having to provide our own replacement.
Something to investigate.
