[Bug 9748] Possible GPL license in keyboard driver

[mcnichol at austin.ibm.com]

The following was added to lnx_kbd.c in the xf86-input-keyboard package.

+ *
+ * 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.

I guess this addresses part of the issue...
But do we really want the GPL in Xorg?
