So please add this text 25*1acd27e7Smillertin a suitable place. Please don't put it in the GPL itself; that 26*1acd27e7Smillertshould be the same as the GPL everywhere else. Putting it in the 27*1acd27e7SmillertREADME and/or the documentation would be a good idea. 28*1acd27e7Smillert 29*1acd27e7Smillert 30*1acd27e7Smillert====================================================================== 31*1acd27e7SmillertOur position on the use of Readline through a shared-library linking 32*1acd27e7Smillertmechanism is that there is no legal difference between shared-library 33*1acd27e7Smillertlinking and static linking--either kind of linking combines various 34*1acd27e7Smillertmodules into a single larger work. The conditions for using Readline 35*1acd27e7Smillertin a larger work are stated in section 3 of the GNU GPL. 36*1acd27e7Smillert 37*1acd27e7Smillert 38
