Unfortunatly, he doesn't have the right to distribute the lexical resources, but assumes he can distribute the generated C source code, as retro-conversion is impossible. First, it is possible to distribute such software under GPL, or any other free or open-source software, if some of those sources are actually machine-generated and can't be regenerated by the end user ?
GPL requires that all source code be in the form prefered for editing/modification. So distributing the generated output won't work for GPL. It will work for many other open source licenses though.
