>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.

                http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2000

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