This basically means that BISON is useless for commercial software developers. I once asked this same question about the run-time libraries for GCC, and was told that there was no such restriction. So, the question is: do BISON and GCC have different restrictions? If so, why? If not, what's the real story? I'm not saying Stallman is wrong to have a restriction like this, I'd just like to know what it means. -- Peter da Silva, Xenix Support, Ferranti International Controls Corporation.
