Hi, I'm considering using a Bison generated parser in a closed source commercial product.
I see that the C file output by Bison has a section starting "As a special exception" which refers to "the Bison parser skeleton". Does this paragraph mean I can modify yacc.c itself (which I understand is the skeleton) and still keep my generated parser closed source? My initial interpretation was that this was indeed the case, but I see that yacc.c itself only contains the standard GPL notice and no "Special Exception". (I'm aware that the special exception definitely applies to the bison generated C file). I'd like to use Bison with a modified skeleton but I don't want to violate the GPL. Any clarification is much appreciated. Regards David _______________________________________________ help-bison@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-bison
