OK, here's another question. This is for a work project. I won't die if no one responds, but maybe someone will enjoy the chase. Anyway, I am looking for copyrights for the following: CL/xpparse.2c and CL/xpyacc.tab.c, both distributed by the Free Software Foundation, and java-getopt-1.0.12.jar., glibC, and libstdc++, distributed by GNU. I've been searching for literally weeks, but it's hard to do via the WWW.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hmm. Maybe your best bet would be to download all those programs in source code versions. Those would contain files of the license agreement.
I don't know if this would be of any help: [link]

Yeah, I'm also trying something along those lines, and have at least had success with libstdc++ that way.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Short answer: software distributed by the Free Software Foundation is covered by one or more versions of the Gnu public license.
You can get getopt here, and glibc here.

Thanks-- the GPL, etc. license is how I got here, since they require disclosure of copyright.

My Treo hasn't been able to sync in over a week - it just keeps timing out and saying it can't connect. I've restarted both it and the computer, no dice. Any ideas?
[nevermind, just a loose cable. DUH]

bon bon, are you looking for who the copyright holders are for those particular works?

Yeah, and the years, but at this point I'm only looking for xpparse2.c and xpyaxx.tab.c, which are apparently Skeleton output parsers for bison, whatever that means.

It means that those two files weren't directly written by a human, they were generated by a program called bison, from a higher-level source file.
Bison is a type of program called a "parser generator", which takes code that describes the grammar of a programming language, and outputs a program that will parse the grammar.
The source file(s) that generated those xp*.c files would have a .y extension, perhaps xpparse.y and xpyacc.y

If generated that way, I wonder if they can be copyrighted. My problem in doing this is I don't have the software, I just have a list of third party software that's in it, and I am trying to make the correct copyright disclosures for that software.
