Well, relicensing is hard. It's far from guaranteed to succeed...

Some platforms have to use libedit because linking to both libreadline and openssl is of debated legality. GPL prohibits additional restrictions and openssl's license has an advertising clause which is often interpreted violating the additional-restrictions clause.
