Or just don't be a prick and write your own readline if the terms of the GNU version are not to your liking.
HN is a strange place where people will bemoan piracy but salivate at ways to workaround the GPL.
- cat199 7y agoor, do! https://github.com/NetBSD/src/tree/trunk/lib/libedit https://github.com/NetBSD/src/tree/trunk/lib/libedit also: isn't the entire GNU project itself someone 'being a prick and writing their own unix because the terms of the AT&T one were not to their liking'? (pay no attention to the Berkely UNIX behind the curtain) also also: isn't this hacker news?
- gwd 7y agoNitpick: "Being a prick" in the parent was "trying to work around the license". "Writing your own alternative" was the "don't be a prick" option. Of course, just because you write your own alternative doesn't mean you can't be a prick if you want. :-)
- cat199 7y agothink the above was ambiguous language. could go either way. but yes, could be a misreading. cheers.
