Actually, the output of Bison is GPL'd on the same grounds as presented in this case, that a significant portion of it includes code from Bison itself. You can't link and distribute a Bison-generated parser with a non-GPL parser generator (for other kinds of programs, the license contains an exception that allows linking).


That was the case, but now there's an exception: http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/manual/html_node/Condition...


Yeah... I mentioned that exception in the parenthetical statement.
