[I've cc'ed the xorg mailing list, where this is a much more on-topic question
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.
