The reason you have to GPL Bison output currently is that the skeleton file is included in the output, and that skeleton file is covered by the GPL. If you modify Bison so that it just outputs tables and doesn't include the skeleton, or if you write from scratch your own skeleton files, that restriction should go away. -- Doug DeJulio ddj+@cmu.edu
