I thought I remembered reading on the list once upon a time that psql used a
different readline library because the GNU readline's GPL isn't entirely
compatible with PostgreSQL's BSD-type license. Did this change, or am I
remembering wrong?

You need to have the GNU readline library installed. I ran into this with
Solaris. Once it's installed the Postgres configure will find and use it.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)
