libinput ships a copy of the GPL-licensed Linux kernel's linux/input.h
header file. [1] This does not make libinput GPL.
This copy is provided to provide consistent behavior regardless which kernel
version libinput is compiled against. The header is used during compilation
only, libinput does not link against GPL libraries.
