sure. PHP is also licensed under a BSD-like license and you can compile it
with readline to get a PHP shell-like CLI interpreter. But that doesn't make
PHP GPL licensed or something like that.
Anyway, there is a drop-in replacement for readline which is (near) 100% API
compatible and is licensed under the BSD license. It's called Libedit.
