RE: [PHP-DEV] Re: Suggestion: Adding fmt like linebreak algorithm

My concern (though maybe unwarrented, someone more familiar with these matters might correct me) is that fmt is released under the GPL and I recall us having problems with things like readline in the past. Is this a non-issue? Otherwise I could read the paper and write a "clean room" implementation...
