it would appear that the file can be used without restriction. Any
output from bison or flex is non-GPL, AIUI. Any input *into* bison,
which is GPL'd before processing, *is* restricted. Given that bison
doesn't take .h files as input, doesn't it make sense that this was
produced *by* bison, and thus unrestricted?
