Apologizes. Nasty habits of my long-time use of (insert 'favorite'
commercial Linux distro here) ;)

OK, legally, there should be no problem. The files I pointed to are provided
under GPL (see the file COPYING in the tar.gz).
Concerning the USB/ADB issue, the point is (translated from
http://www.linux-france.org/article/materiel/mac/clavier_rpm3.html) :
The files of this version 3.0 are an update of version 2.2, in order that
they work with the "new input layer", a new handling of keyboards and
mouse, which unifies the ADB ans USB keyboards handling). That "new input
layer" is used in LinuxPPC 2000 Q4 or kernels including this feature. If
your kernel and/or distribution does not support this feature, you have to
use an older release.
I must admit that I'm a totally newbie at Apple hardware, and I don't know
what is the "new" and the "old" input layers.
