I'm not sure about the license status of programs that incorporate code generated by this GPL'd version of lemon. If skeleton.c is in the GPL, then so is a program based on it. That means after an input grammar is specified, the resulting program contains GPL'd code. If a non-GPL program incorporates the resulting parser, what is its legal status? Would the LGPL solve this issue? I bring this up because I am writing a Gentoo ebuild for lemon, and I will probably have to use the version of lemon from the sqlite source tarball, even though it has no version information or README file. It seems like lemon is less useful with the GPL license. Please let me know if I'm wrong.

Actually GPL has no viral effect on its artifacts. |
