      If you build a parser using a standard BISON skeleton and then

      THE ENTIRE PROGRAM must be freely distributable.

   ...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.

As usual, you're asking and rumoring in the wrong place.  If you were
to ask an original question on gnu.gcc you'd probably find someone
qualified to give you "the real story".

Or better yet, read the GNU General Public License first, which
addresses such matters directly.  This issue arises quite frequently
on gnu.gcc because people don't read the license first, and ask
questions with answers that don't change from wave to wave.

Don't ask me, because I'm not the right one to answer - I have nothing
to do with the FSF, so I can't represent their position.  It just irks
me to see rumors being mongered in authoritative-sounding tones of
voice, but actually in a knowledge vacuum.
