| 21 | Subject: Use of Readline |
| 22 | Reply-to: rms@gnu.org |
| 23 | |
| 24 | 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. |

| 30 | ====================================================================== |
| 31 | 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. |
