ok, so what do we do: A) follow upstream, and use bundled GPLv2 readline to link static against B) go back to readline-v5 C) repackage debian's version of readline-gplv2 (afaik its a v5 maintained) D) ignore all this legal crap and just link shared with readline v6 E) try to use libedit, but the spec files contain buildConflicts with it, so i'm guessing it's for a good reason. debian does B) fedora does either A) or D), but definately static linked tbh: even though it's not right, my preference goes to D) my mariadb latest fix is just waiting to be pushed... please, i need comments and opinions ASAP!
