   24: I think Allbery's suggestion is a good one.  So please add this text
   25: in a suitable place.  Please don't put it in the GPL itself; that
   26: should be the same as the GPL everywhere else.  Putting it in the
   27: README and/or the documentation would be a good idea.

   30: ======================================================================
   31: Our position on the use of Readline through a shared-library linking
   32: mechanism is that there is no legal difference between shared-library
   33: linking and static linking--either kind of linking combines various
   34: modules into a single larger work.  The conditions for using Readline
   35: in a larger work are stated in section 3 of the GNU GPL.
