 @unnumbered Conditions for Using Bison
 
-Bison grammars can be used only in programs that are free software.  This
-is in contrast to what happens with the GNU C compiler and the other
-GNU programming tools.
-
-The reason Bison is special is that the output of the Bison utility---the
-Bison parser file---contains a verbatim copy of a sizable piece of Bison,
-which is the code for the @code{yyparse} function.  (The actions from your
-grammar are inserted into this function at one point, but the rest of the
-function is not changed.)
-
-As a result, the Bison parser file is covered by the same copying
-conditions that cover Bison itself and the rest of the GNU system: any
-program containing it has to be distributed under the standard GNU copying
-conditions.
-
-Occasionally people who would like to use Bison to develop proprietary
-programs complain about this.
-
-We don't particularly sympathize with their complaints.  The purpose of the
-GNU project is to promote the right to share software and the practice of
-sharing software; it is a means of changing society.  The people who
-complain are planning to be uncooperative toward the rest of the world; why
-should they deserve our help in doing so?
-
-However, it's possible that a change in these conditions might encourage
-computer companies to use and distribute the GNU system.  If so, then we
-might decide to change the terms on @code{yyparse} as a matter of the
-strategy of promoting the right to share.  Such a change would be
-irrevocable.  Since we stand by the copying permissions we have announced,
-we cannot withdraw them once given.
-
-We mustn't make an irrevocable change hastily.  We have to wait until there
-is a complete GNU system and there has been time to learn how this issue
-affects its reception.
+As of Bison version 1.24, we have changed the distribution terms for
+@code{yyparse} to permit using Bison's output in nonfree programs.
+Formerly, Bison parsers could be used only in programs that were free
+software.
+
+The other GNU programming tools, such as the GNU C compiler, have never
+had such a requirement.  They could always be used for nonfree
+software.  The reason Bison was different was not due to a special
+policy decision; it resulted from applying the usual General Public
+License to all of the Bison source code.
+
+The output of the Bison utility---the Bison parser file---contains a
+verbatim copy of a sizable piece of Bison, which is the code for the
+@code{yyparse} function.  (The actions from your grammar are inserted
+into this function at one point, but the rest of the function is not
+changed.)  When we applied the GPL terms to the code for @code{yyparse},
+the effect was to restrict the use of Bison output to free software.
+
+We didn't change the terms because of sympathy for people who want to
+make software proprietary.  @strong{Software should be free.}  But we
+concluded that limiting Bison's use to free software was doing little to
+encourage people to make other software free.  So we decided to make the
+practical conditions for using Bison match the practical conditions for
+using the other GNU tools.

+You can associate the literal string token with a symbolic name as an

+By convention, a literal string token is used only to represent a token

+type @code{"<="} to represent the string @samp{<=} as a token.  Bison
+does not enforce this convention, but if you depart from it, people who
+read your program will be confused.

+All the escape sequences used in string literals in C can be used in
