It sounds like gnuplot's license isn't GPL-compatible, so Fedora would be violating the law to ship gnuplot with readline.

For decades only debian adopted this view, and only in fairly recently (last two years?) did fedora drop readline support. The alternative it uses is broken almost to the point of unsuitability (e.g. write any line long enough to wrap and try editing it)
