If psql uses libreadline and libgnutls, does that mean psql will be distributed under the GPL in the future? Or Dual-licensed?

If I read the readline license right, applications that link to it must be GPL.

That's why we (EMC/Greenplum) switch to libedit, even though readline is nicer... We didn't want to ship part of our product as GPL
