I don't see the license in neither generated parsers, but in both generated parsers there is the same nice exception note, the `special exception` to `distribute that work under terms of your choice, so long as [the nesting work is not a parser generator itself] or a modified version thereof as a parser skeleton`. My parser generated using Bison 2.3+apple states the generated parser as (sic) `is free software and you can […] under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2, or (at your option) any later version. _______________________________________________ help-bison@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-bison
