I think Allbery's suggestion is a good one. So please add this text
|
| 25 |
|
|
in a suitable place. Please don't put it in the GPL itself; that
|
| 26 |
|
|
should be the same as the GPL everywhere else. Putting it in the
|
| 27 |
|
|
README and/or the documentation would be a good idea.

======================================================================

|
|
Our position on the use of Readline through a shared-library linking
|
| 32 |
|
|
mechanism is that there is no legal difference between shared-library
|
| 33 |
|
|
linking and static linking--either kind of linking combines various
|
| 34 |
|
|
modules into a single larger work. The conditions for using Readline
|
| 35 |
|
|
in a larger work are stated in section 3 of the GNU GPL.
