</I>>><i> as suspected, MariaDB cannot license as GPLv2+

</I>>><i> ok, so what do we do:
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> A) follow upstream, and use bundled GPLv2 readline to link static against
</I>>><i> B) go back to readline-v5
</I>>><i> C) repackage debian's version of readline-gplv2 (afaik its a v5 maintained)
</I>>><i> D) ignore all this legal crap and just link shared with readline v6
</I>>><i> E) try to use libedit, but the spec files contain buildConflicts with it, so i'm

</I>>><i> debian does B)

</I>>><i> please, i need comments and opinions ASAP!

</I>><i> I understand the desire to do D, but it really, really should not be
