Quoting /usr/share/doc/gnuplot/README.Debian: libreadline ----------- Yes, the built in readline of gnuplot is bad. However, libreadline cannot be used instead because it is licensed under the GPL, whereas gnuplot has special licenses (patches only). Linking those programs together is forbidden by the GPL. Please don't file bugs telling me to use libreadline in gnuplot... -- see shy jo
