Yet another > strike against GPL... <sigh> Correct. We would love to be able to host and promote extensions that link in GPL'ed libraries, but RMS jumps all over us when we do. Our readline extension has caused us all sorts of grief over the years because it can be linked against the GPL'ed readline library, but its saving grace is that there is a BSD licensed library called libedit that it works with as well. So, you need to find yourself an LGPL, BSD or other such flexible open source licensed library and use that instead. -Rasmus
