Note that flex is NOT distributed under the GNU license (contrary to
claims made by GNU people).  You can use flex for commercial products.

Although the GNU group asserts that their software is free, this is not
so.  For example, Bison cannot be used for commercial products, since
the code used with it is covered by their copyright and cannot be
distributed commercially.

	Take care.
