| gnuplot (3.5beta6.340-5) frozen unstable; urgency=low | [...] | * doesn't link to gnu's readline library anymore, since it probably | violates the library copyleft (gnuplot is "free" but non-gpl); gnuplot | uses now its internal readline facility instead | | -- tibor simko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fri, 27 Mar 1998 10:24:00 +0100 And BTW, gnuplot doesn't break anything. We would be violating the GNU GPL by distributing a gnuplot linked with readline but gnuplot is not per se breaking the GNU GPL. -- James ~Yawn And Walk North~ http://yawn.nocrew.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
