AFAIK such projects are gutenprint, cups-filters or hplip... does anyone have in mind other projects, which will be unable to use CUPS and reason?
Gutenprint today is okay, as only its CUPS filters/backend link against CUPS and its GPLv2+ license can be treated as v3 to make it all kosher. None of the other Gutenprint compoents (eg libgutenprint, libgutenprintui) currently link against CUPS.
That said, it's likely there are applications out there that directly link to both libgutenprint and libcups.
(This also throws a wrench into some future plans. Discussions are ongoing)
