As I recall, there was a second set of licensing changes that were asked
for, and not all of the authors could be reached for that second set.
Or maybe not all of them agreed.

However, have a look at my latest synaptics driver, and let me know if
you'd prefer to make that one the offical one.  It is still not as
featureful as the other driver, but I feel that it operates better and
I can work on bringing it closer to being fully featured.

Here is the url:

The man page may be incomplete, but I can fix that fairly quickly.
