About license of input drivers of Xorg

[余飞]

Thanks a lot for your quick response, Alan!

I have another question:

The context is that our corp wanna diliver Xorg to our customers.
And you know there're many packages within Xorg, each with a lot of license
declarations. Moreover,
some packages have the stub license as xf86-input-keyboard-1.2.2 does.
So, could we just collect the license declarations into a single
COPYING file and label it as
XXX-LICENSE(XXX is the name of the package) since It's time-consuming to
figure out
whether they're BSD or other specific licence type?

Thanks.
Duncan
