Hi,

In src/backend/parser/parse.h there is a copyright that reads as below.
Note the bottom section that says that the GPL is only excepted for
files generated by Bison *from* this file. This implies to me that this
file is GPL'd, and therefore shouldn't be in the tarball (or pgAdmin
where Andreas wants to use it) - or have I missed something?

Regards, Dave.
