You are aware that it forces the winedbg under the GPL since
libreadline is GPL:ed. Of course the Wine license
is GPL compatible so that is not a problem in itself.
However it also forces in some meaning everything linking
with Wine to be GPL compatible. While currently (after
your patch) it is only used by winedbg that is not
supposed to be linked to anything, we need to keep that
in mind.
Perhaps we shouldn't have it on as default?

I haven't tested but I think it is.
I will test if and when it is applied
and if its not I can fix it.
