Hang on! I already have libreadline. I don't want INRIA to distribute it, just detect if I already have it. If I do, I would like to be able to link it in to the top level. Alternatively, why not build the toplevel with ledit? > But the first man making a custom toplevel is dead: > having both in the same file won't do. I am the one linking it into the toplevel, not INRIA. It will have no impact on me, since I do not use the top level for producing code (only for testing the occasional small fragments). It's doubtful if the FSF licences mean much anyhow. Python uses readline by default in its top level, if available. There are lots of Python programs out there, being run with a binary with readline linked in, which are not licenced GPL, Python itself being an example. > Even distributing libreadline inside the ocaml distribution might > be a problem: Please don't. -- John (Max) Skaller, mailto:skaller@maxtal.com.au 10/1 Toxteth Rd Glebe NSW 2037 Australia voice: 61-2-9660-0850 checkout Vyper http://Vyper.sourceforge.net download Interscript http://Interscript.sourceforge.net ------------------- Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr
