   Some LPL questions for the FSF people:

	   -Is the GNU Library Public License intended to cover programs
	   like BISON ?

It hasn't been decided yet.  lib-g++ is the likely first candidate.

	   -If so would source (.y files) have to be distributed to
	   avoid substantial inclusion of GNU-ware and hence the LPL
	   "executable" restrictions?

Interesting question.  I'll have to review the draft and see.  The
answer should be clear in the first full release of the GLPL, and
perhaps the next draft.
