   No that I look at since this somehow poped-up in the recent update by   
   some reason: Could we actually enable readline-support back?   
      
   Looking at socat, it is granting an exception to OpenSSL if it matches   
   the license in COPYING.OpenSSL according d/copyright. Now, this is not   
   the case anymore as OpenSSL is licensed under Apache-2.0. So the license   
   exception isn't be valid. But then COPYING says "either version 2 of   
   the License, or (at your option) any later version." and this reads as   
   GPLv2+ which is compatible with Apache-2.0. Since readline is GPLv2+ as   
   well, this would allow to enable readline support.
