Description-en: BSD editline and history libraries (shim development files)
GNU readline changed its license from GPL-2 to GPL-3 with version 6,
which excludes GPL-2-only programs from using current readline versions.
editline resembles readline functionally and with regards to its API.
.
This is a development shim library that can be used to link a GPL-2-only
program that depends on readline with editline.
