[fprint] change.org petition for Validity source code

[gregory.bahde at laposte.net]

There we go! 

Please share it with everybody using linux & a validity sensor... 

Synaptics need to do something for that, and answer to Vasily. 

Because IT companies can't just think linux support is optional.

Trying to file a change.org petition but it doesn't let me, anyone wants to give it a try? 

All my laptops use validity sensors, and the workaround is not convienient and sometimes even faulty 
-segfaulty ;)-
