Re: super small software keyboard

 

As non-dev 2 cents, I wouldn't want to use a proprietary keyboard, as it undermines the heart of what the U-touch project seems to be. Free to use by everyone. All GPL'd. If compromises start, then how is this project any different than what Google or Apple does, because they may some things open source. But Ubuntu is supposed to be different. Its why I first used 9.04 so many years ago.

Sorry for the rant. It is a beautiful keyboard would love its benefits. But not worth it if it compromises the Ubuntu values.
