+Subject: Use of Readline
+Reply-to: rms@gnu.org
+
+I think Allbery's suggestion is a good one. So please add this text
+in a suitable place. Please don't put it in the GPL itself; that
+should be the same as the GPL everywhere else. Putting it in the
+README and/or the documentation would be a good idea.
+
+
+======================================================================
+Our position on the use of Readline through a shared-library linking
+mechanism is that there is no legal difference between shared-library
+linking and static linking--either kind of linking combines various
+modules into a single larger work. The conditions for using Readline
+in a larger work are stated in section 3 of the GNU GPL.
