I don't believe they are compatable, and a reading of the Artistic License supports my feeling. OTOH, relying on my analysis would be foolish, so I've forwarded this to debian-legal. Honestly, the best answer would come from [EMAIL PROTECTED], but I hestitate to bother him. (For debian-legal: the question is whether libreadline's License (GPL, IIRC) and the Artistic License are compatable licenses.) -- David Starner - [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Repent, Harlequin", said the Ticktock man.
