Many people are mentioning useful changes to Yacc that they can't
distribute because of AT&T copyrights. Why not just make the changes
to Bison, the Free Software Foundation copylefted Yacc clone (which
generates slightly better parsers besides) and allow your improvements
to be generally distributed? I am sure that Stallman & Co. at FSF will
be happy to distribute any usefull contributions that people have
made.
