	Well, at the GNU BOF session in Nashville this week that question
was asked of Len Tower.  If my memory is correct he said that there are no
current plans to do so.  They are going to watch the result of the GLGPL on
the C and C++ libraries and decide what to do with other things in the
future.  I suppose this means that they might consider putting the Bison
engine under the GLGPL if things work out they way they want too.  (People
use the libraries and contributes fixes/improvements.)
