While this topic comes up (again), it is my duty to remind you guys that the
most serious viral license trojan in the tree is GNU readline, which being a
library is under the GPL. More insight into the evilness of this is given by
the FSF themselves:

I understand vinum used to depend on GNU readline, but that is probably not the
case anymore. Of course. if it's really that necessary we *should* be using
NetBSD's libedit compatibility.
