Hi, 

I've developed an Eclipse plugin that uses javacc.jar. 
Given that there's no separate "binary license",
the license that applies to
javacc.jar as a whole is the one stated in the source files
in 
https://javacc.dev.java.net/files/documents/1
7/26777/javacc-4.0.zip

As discussed in issue#69 , i.e. 
https://javacc.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=69 
the license on the source files is going to be made
open-source-compatible in v4.1 

I'm not asking for the Java5 features of v4.1, but rather
whether that license
issue (first raised in 2005) can be addressed, for example
by making available a
v4.0A source + binary download (no samples, no grammars
written by
thrid-parties, just the files with BSD license). 

Thank you so much. 


Miguel

Hi,

As I understand it, 4.1 will include the license changes and
a few bug fixes /
minor enhancements. The Java 5 features will be included in
a later release.

If you would like a version of 4.0 source with the proper
(legal) BSD license
you could use the Debian CVS snapshot at

http://ftp.debian.org/debian/p
ool/main/j/javacc/javacc_4.0+cvs20070207.orig.tar.gz
