The shell in its lonesome is never GPL, only the combination with readline is. If you distributed a combination of the SQLite shell with readline, the combination would have to be GPL. But if someone took your combination and extracted out the SQLite shell parts, separating them from the readline parts, then those extracted parts are still also usable under the original SQLite license. The GPL never prevents anyone from using the SQLite source by itself under the public domain, no matter how anyone gets their copy of SQLite, whether linked with readline or not. -- Darren Duncan _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
