Hi,

Sorry for not getting back to you earlier, and I meant to
say, this list is supposed to discuss about Hieroglyph in
English.

Thank you for your contribution. However I can't accept that
change because it makes a way to violate the license and
making an illegal option will confuses people who don't know
the license well. AFAICS applications/libraries that uses
GPL'ed libraries must be licensed under the GPL as
well. that's why I use libedit instead of GNU readline to
achieve similar feature. in addition, now I have no plans to
change Hieroglyph's license to GPL for some reasons at all.

So I'm sorry.
