But the thing about GPL, v3 or otherwise, is that they cover distribution and not use. I think I'm right when I say that you don't agree to the GPL by using GPL-licensed software. So, I guess I still don't understand why it's a problem. >From a quick Google search it looks like OpenBSD provides bison and flex packages already. _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
