Not sure why they rebuilt a clipboard library when "clipboard" exists (I think it might even be used within Servo, not sure): https://crates.io/crates/clipboard

> A non-GPL licensed cross-platform clipboard library,

(That is, that project is GPL licensed, and they didn't want that)

Oh, I thought "clipboard" was dual licensed to GPL and/or Apache 2.0. My bad. I hadn't seen that the x11 related code was purely GPL 2.0.

Thanks for your help, Steve !

No worries! :)
