It would be GPL violation if a distribution package compiled and linked
firebird binaries against readline. As long as they are linked against
(distribution) libedit, there is no GPL violation. For example:
mike@lion:~> ldd /usr/bin/isql-fb
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff86dff000)
libfbclient.so.2 => /usr/lib64/libfbclient.so.2 (0x00007f67127ff000)
libedit.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libedit.so.0 (0x00007f67125c6000)
...
mike@lion:~> rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libedit.so.0
libedit0-3.0.snap20110802-5.1.1.x86_64
(openSUSE 12.3)
