Im not a lawyer, it's been intersting looking over the web on readline, 
with python, alladin ghostscript and others.  I wonder if techincally 
anything compiled on linux is 'legal' :-).

But best to avoid it, I've compiled in editline and it works fine, so we 
don't have to worry about it anymore.
