Re: new webpage: rikai.com

<< The bison analogy is probably false.  yyparse() is in fact edited by

applied to yyparse(), would then imply the whole program must be

presumably not permit withholding source from a distribution here. >>

  You misunderstood. What I mean is, if I GPLed rikai, and if you run a page 
through the rikai engine, BECAUSE it now contains code, and that code is 
part of rikai, it (the result document) can't be released under an 
incompatible license. Someone wanting to do so would need to deal with me 
directly.
  The analogy to bison is that a company can't distribute a program built 
with bison under a non-GPL license (although I think bison has changed now, 
no?).

  True?
