JavaCC Licensing and Distribution Policy

JavaCC is owned by Sun Microsystems.  Metamata has a "caretaker" status
for the product through a partnership agreement with Sun.  Metamata has
a strong and good relationship with the Forte division of Sun Microsystems
and together we intend to do a very good job of maintaining and supporting
JavaCC. <p>

The bottom line is the license agreement that you agree to when you
install JavaCC.  <b>Statements on this page do not supercede any such license
agreement.</b> <p>

JavaCC is free.  You can download it and use it in most situations at
no cost.  The files generated by JavaCC are yours which you use at your
own risk.  Sun and Metamata do not place any restrictions on what you can
do with the generated files. <p>

JavaCC does not have any runtime libraries (such as JAR files).  The only
files you will need are those generated by JavaCC.  So there are no
issues regarding the use of library files. <p>

If you wish to redistribute JavaCC for any reason, you may do so <b>after</b>
signing a redistribution agreement with Metamata.  Please
