Fix built as 4.0.0-4.

Comment 2 Axel Thimm 2007-08-05 16:08:24 UTC
Doesn't linking gnuplot against readline result in a non-redistributable binary?
E.g. gnuplot in Fedora violates the GPL.

Comment 3 Axel Thimm 2007-08-05 16:12:39 UTC
A legal alternative to readline is libedit - already part of Fedora.

Comment 4 Tom "spot" Callaway 2008-01-15 19:13:21 UTC
Looking at gnuplot:

The package is actually licensed under a dual license, gnuplot and GPLv2+, since
the src/wxterminal/* files are dual licensed. Since readline is GPLv2+, this is
compatible.

If we were to disable the wx functionality, we might be in a pickle, but as is,
we're ok.
