Thanks, will do.

It is much larger: 22 kLOC in 22 C files, whereas linenoise has just one
C file and one header and 820 LOC. I looked for a smaller and simpler
library because I did not want to spend much time learning how to
configure, build, and use libtecla.

Looks like a 2-clause standard BSD license [1].
