Description Ander Conselvan de Oliveira 2011-04-21 06:27:05 UTC
Some layouts have licenses which disallow commercial use. This might cause concerns/problems to companies distributing this in commercial products. The attached patch adds an option to disable those layouts before installing.

All layouts in the project are under x11 license. Otherwise they should be removed.

Fair enough. The symbols/lt file contains the following copyright/license statement:

// LEKP and LEKPa layouts 1.0
// Copyright (c) 2007 Tautrimas Pajarskas
// For more info visit http://lekp.info
//

For the other affected layout there is bug #15407 already.
