Re: [aur-general] readline GPL violation on two pkgs?

Hi,

I just do a quick scan of soft linked with readline and  I think that these two pkgs that are linked with readline violates GPL:

extra/tftp-hpa community/ngspice

Both have the "old" BSD (4-clause) license and is linked with readline that is GPL, so there is an incompatibility [#1]

In the case of ngspice recomends to link with libedit to avoid legal issues [#2]

Okay, when I bump ngspice to r19 I'll link against libedit. -- Abhishek
