>Description:
Current devel/readline package is readline 6.0 in pkgsrc and
its license is GPLv3.
Since current devel/readline/Makefile's LICENSE is gnu-gpl-v2,
we need to change to gnu-gpl-v3.
But GPLv3 itself has license incompatibility problem.

So, strict view from license, we keep old readline package which
is readlly gnu-gpl-v2.
