So please add this text 2558310Sachein a suitable place. Please don't put it in the GPL itself; that 2658310Sacheshould be the same as the GPL everywhere else. Putting it in the 2758310SacheREADME and/or the documentation would be a good idea. 2858310Sache 2958310Sache 3058310Sache====================================================================== 3158310SacheOur position on the use of Readline through a shared-library linking 3258310Sachemechanism is that there is no legal difference between shared-library 3358310Sachelinking and static linking--either kind of linking combines various 3458310Sachemodules into a single larger work. The conditions for using Readline 3558310Sachein a larger work are stated in section 3 of the GNU GPL. 3658310Sache 3758310Sache 38
