Questions

How big is the KeyModule L PCB?

It measures 173.5 × 145 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the KeyModule L use?

90 parts, built around the MCP23017-E/SS and RJ45. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the KeyModule L KiCad files?

From the cho45/Keble repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KeyModule-L.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the KeyModule L design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask cho45 before reusing the design.
