Notes

• Keyboard-Layout-Editor is free to use, and will remain free to use indefinitely.
• It is open-source, which allows you to learn from (and contribute to) the tool.
• But it's not permissively licensed!
• The long-term plan is to eventually open the license up to something really permissive (probably MIT), when the site is closer to feature-complete.
• In the near-term I would like to avoid forks of the website, since I feel it would cause confusion in the community to have several similar-but-different general-purpose layout editors available.
• In the meantime, if you have a different use-case in mind that requires a fork (e.g., an editor for a keyboard manufacturer to offer customization options to their customers, integrated with your website and custom branded), then just get in touch and I'll provide you a special license to do so (gratis!).
• I claim no ownership over the input (your keyboard layouts) or output (rendered keyboards). You are free to use the inputs/outputs for any use whatsoever.
