+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> ok, so what do we do:
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> A) follow upstream, and use bundled GPLv2 readline to link static against
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> B) go back to readline-v5
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> C) repackage debian's version of readline-gplv2 (afaik its a v5 maintained)
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> D) ignore all this legal crap and just link shared with readline v6
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> E) try to use libedit, but the spec files contain buildConflicts with it, so i'm
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> guessing it's for a good reason.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> debian does B)
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> fedora does either A) or D), but definately static linked
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> tbh: even though it's not right, my preference goes to D)

+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> my mariadb latest fix is just waiting to be pushed...
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> please, i need comments and opinions ASAP!
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I understand the desire to do D, but it really, really should not be
+</I>&gt;<i> done like that. If we cannot adhere to our own licenses, then how do we
+</I>&gt;<i> expect any traditionally non-foss people to do it? We have to lead by
+</I>&gt;<i> example.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> So personally I'd go with A and if/when another readline related GPLv3
+</I>&gt;<i> issue crops up in the future, then we switch over to C.
