I think that the state of the matter (of the most recent Bison
versions), is that you can freely use the C-parser in a commercial
application, the same way that you can use GCC libraries and the
like. Check the notice in the parser sources that Bison writes. The
copyrighting of this parser only applies to the parts that derives
from the skeleton file. The other parts deriving from the grammar you
write is copyrighted to you. As for the GLR and C++ parsers, they may
have different copyrighting notices, but may be synced in the future
as to become what the C-parser has today.
