 than the freedesktop general mailing list.]

Hello

I am developing X application now
I have one question about xorg-xf86-input-keyboard license

Why do you care about the server license if you're writing an application (i.e. a client)?

I checked following file

https://github.com/freedesktop/xorg-xf86-input-keyboard/blob/master/COPYING

This file show MIT licene

And I found following file

https://github.com/freedesktop/xorg-xf86-input-keyboard/blob/master/src/lnx_kbd.c


   * Portions based on kbdrate.c from util-linux 2.9t, which is
  * Copyright 1992 Rickard E. Faith.  Distributed under the GPL.
  * This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY

We should probably delete lnx_kbd.c, both to give license clarity and to stop
people from thinking it's a useful driver to have on Linux systems any more.

If you're building the X server for a Linux box you want either the libinput
or evdev drivers instead of keyboard.  If you're building for something without
a Linux kernel, then you won't be building the lnx_kbd.c file any way.
