The copyright owners of some files in the source distribution differ and in some cases special distribution terms are allowed. To the best of our knowledge these terms are compatible with the distribution of ICE under the GPL as a derived product. All these exceptions are detailed below. * Bison parsers The following files in the source distribution are YACC compatible grammar specifications. Upstream authors also distribute the GNU Bison output for each of these files in order to optionally reduce build dependencies. cpp/src/IceGrid/Grammar.y cpp/src/Slice/Grammar.y cpp/src/icecpp/cexp.y cpp/src/IceStorm/Grammar.y cpp/src/FreezeScript/Grammar.y cpp/demo/Freeze/library/Grammar.y cpp/demo/Freeze/phonebook/Grammar.y cpp/test/Freeze/complex/Grammar.y GNU Bison output is unrestricted since version 1.24. The precise terms follows: As a special exception, when this file is copied by Bison into a Bison output file, you may use that output file without restriction. This special exception was added by the Free Software Foundation in version 1.24 of Bison. * cpp/src/Slice/MD5I.{h,cpp} These files implement MD5 algorithm as defined in RFC 1321. They are covered by the following terms (BSD-like without advertising clause). Copyright (C) 1999, 2002 Aladdin Enterprises. All rights reserved.
