If you think you're in danger don't link to it. You don't have to at 
all. You can build without readline entirely (it's only needed for psql) 
or you can link to libedit instead.

So it's a postgresql option, not a requirement.

But they'll never worry anyway, it would be a complete waste of time and 
money to pursue you over it.
