It appears that while the linuxwacom driver seems to be under the MIT/X11
license (correct me if I'm wrong), that to have the full functionality of
the linuxwacom driver, users need or will want the rest of the utilities and
other stuff included in the linuxwacom project, however most of that stuff
seems to be under the GPL license.  GPL licenced code is not accepted into
the X.Org source code tree.

So while we could include the driver portion itself into X.Org, we can't
include the bits that would make the driver fully useful to people.  Is
it still beneficial enough to just include the MIT/X11 licenced stuff into
Xorg without the rest?
