Re: java-getopt
Hi Raif and Mariusz,
First, a question to Raif: I assume you have permission of (yourself
and/or your employer and/or your University, ...) to contribute this
code, and you are willing to license it under the same license as
SableCC (which is the LGPL + I reserve the right to clarify a few points
if ambiguities arise, like I want to make sure "generated code" is free
from any license requirement). Right?
Please let me know who is the copyright holder on your code, so that I
can add his/her name to the list of copyright holders.

I agree ;-)

As far as I know, it is (was?) licensed under the LGPL, which is
perfectly compatible with SableCC.
Ideally, we should extract the necessary classes from java-getopt and
include them within the sablecc.jar file, but this means we also have to
display the java-getopt license information along SableCC's when invoked
with the --license option. This should be easy to implement. I can
take care of it once the new code is in CVS.

That's fine with me too. Mariusz?

As long as we also provide it within the distributed source package,
that's fine.

Mariusz, which deserves many thanks.
Thanks a lot,
