Hi folks,
I am just wondering what *exactly* I have to do if I want to use
the readline library distributed unter the GPL in a commercial
application (a scheme interpreter).
The state of my 'research' in this area is:
- I have to supply the source-code of libreadline.a or have to tell
  the end-use exactly how to get it,
- I have to state somewhere in the documentation that this software
  is used.
Is this policy ok ? (comments from FSF od GNU member appreciated!)
Regards,
Thomas
