Re: [Jython-dev] Jython license and GPL incompatibility

Cool.

One thing I should mention though is that there may be issues with readline 
support (org.python.utils.ReadlineConsole) - Bablok's wrappers are LGPL but 
they link with GNU libreadline which is GPL.  Thus (according to my 
understanding which could be wrong), this would require jython - if built 
with ReadlineConsole - to be GPL-compatible.

Sorry, not trying to nitpick here but in packaging jython up for Debian one 
must take care to ensure that everything is legal. :)

Thanks,
	Ben.
