It depends on the tool. Usually, the output of tools bears the same licence as the original source code it processed from. Unless that tool copies part of its own input code to the output, like bison or yacc do. If that's the case, then copyright and licence from the tool itself apply to the generated output too. Needless to say, we'd rather avoid the latter case. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center
