Description Ben Sagal 2012-10-09 21:32:40 UTC

I connot find any refeance to dev-java/byaccj having an as-is license on the website or in the tarball

what is manchined on thr website is: (http://byaccj.sourceforge.net/)
* It is absolutely free; no license, no royalties, free!
* Of course, thanks go to Tom Corbett for BYACC, a fine implementation of YACC. And thanks to his altruistic nature for putting it in the Public Domain. I just added the Java switch. Check the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS file for more contributors. 

this seems to imply that byaccj is also intended to be public domain.

Looks like public-domain to me as well. Fixed. Thanks for the report.
