1) The first problem is licensing.  The *possibility* of GPL will stop some
LibRaw users from using it. So, no GPL code, thanks. All other code may be
triple licensed (LGPL, CCDL, LibRaw own license) and it is licensed this way.

2) Another problem is Foveon's color quality. I have not tested latest Sigma
software (4.0?), but all older programs (previous Sigma Pro Photo, Adobe ACR
and LR, and, sure, LibRaw/dcraw code) are unable to produce consistent color
(look red tones on  this screenshot:
http://blog.lexa.ru/sites/blog.lexa.ru/files/images/foveons_0.jpg, this is
Adobe Camera Raw results for two Sigma cameras and one Canon, only Canon's one
is near CC24 standard rendering).


So, we're just saying 'Sorry' to Sigma users. The possible alternatives are
 * Raw Therapee (have not used it, but source contains all foveon code from
dcraw)
 * digiKam or other software which uses LibRaw with old LibRaw version, prior
to 0.9
