   Great!  One question: I remember hearing vague talk that the Bison
   LALR parsing engine might be distributed under the GLGPL so that
   proprietary programs could use Bison instead of yacc (conforming to
   all the conditions and terms of the GLGPL, of course!); any word on
   whether or not GNU folk deemed that a good idea or not, and whether or
   not it will happen?  (Roland?)

I don't know if anyone ever planned to do this.  You could write your
own skeleton, of course, and put whatever terms on it you wanted.  For
something that size, probably makinng it PD would be fine.
