Strangely enough I have not received your reply, neither directly or
through the list, even though I see it in the archive - I guess the mail
issues aren't over yet.

Anyway, you are right - Our license tag is apparently wrong, and I
didn't verify it.

Still, given the unclarity about LGPL-2.0 vs GPL-3.0 - And the fact that
readline is only used in the ncl utility and not in the library (and
using LGPL for an application), so I would prefer to err on the side of
caution and unconditionally use libedit.

I will send an updated series changing _LICENSE and adjusting the
commit message of this patch to refer to LGPL instead.

Thanks.
