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]
Cheers,
