On `clj`'s dependency on GNU Readline
Hi,
After my previous email, and reflecting on the (IMHO, sad) fact that
Clojure's license (the EPL 1.0) is not GPL-compatible, I remembered
the case of Common LISP, which was relicensed as GPL-compatible due to
depending on GNU Readline [5].

So, I wonder... Would `clj`'s dependency on GNU Readline imply the
requirement for it to be distributed under a GPL-compatible license -
or, even more, under the GPL itself?
(Whereas I am not a lawyer, and this is no legal advice, the closest
GPL-compatible license to the EPL 1.0 I can think of is the Apache
2.0...)
