   Note that byacc and Bison were written by the same person (hi, Bob!), and
   that byacc is in the public domain, while Bison is copylefted (and programs
   that use Bison fall under the GPL themselves!).

Ahem - I think not. I recall a thread in misc.gnu.discuss about two
years ago in which it was concluded that use of gnu development tools
does not free the program so generated. This I think was accepted by
Tower, at least. (Correct me If I'm wrong, please.)
