PS. Python (cpython) happily links readline, and is distributed under a GPL-compatible license, but not under GPL https://docs.python.org/3/license.html (which is a modified BSD license, just as your https://github.com/fricas/fricas/blob/master/license/LICENSE.AXIOM - which, I think, is a "3-clause BSD license", thus GPL-compatible, too). Do you have a reason not to follow their example? > Anyway, we have enough good interfaces, emacs, > jfricas, texmacx, that I would just dump that clef code and free us from > legacy. > > It would be easy for any user to just type "fricas -rl" and get readline > support with very little friction on his/her side. > > Waldek, what about removing CLEF? > > Ralf > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/fricas-devel/47cf1fbd-6585-2cd7-f30b-2e9df8cb37ce%40hemmecke.org. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group.
