So please add this text 25164190Sjkoshyin a suitable place. Please don't put it in the GPL itself; that 26164190Sjkoshyshould be the same as the GPL everywhere else. Putting it in the 27164190SjkoshyREADME and/or the documentation would be a good idea. 28164190Sjkoshy 29164190Sjkoshy 30164190Sjkoshy====================================================================== 31164190SjkoshyOur position on the use of Readline through a shared-library linking 32164190Sjkoshymechanism is that there is no legal difference between shared-library 33164190Sjkoshylinking and static linking--either kind of linking combines various 34164190Sjkoshymodules into a single larger work. The conditions for using Readline 35164190Sjkoshyin a larger work are stated in section 3 of the GNU GPL. 36164190Sjkoshy 37164190Sjkoshy 38164190Sjkoshy
