We reserve no legal rights to the ANTLR--it is fully in the public domain. An individual or company may
do whatever they wish with source code distributed with ANTLR or the code generated by ANTLR,
including the incorporation of ANTLR, or its output, into commerical software.
We encourage users to develop software with ANTLR. However, we do ask that credit is given to us for
developing ANTLR. By "credit", we mean that if you use ANTLR or incorporate
any source code into one of your programs (commercial product, research project, or otherwise)
that you acknowledge this fact somewhere in the documentation, research report, etc... If you like
ANTLR and have developed a nice tool with the output, please mention that you developed it using
ANTLR. In addition, we ask that the
headers remain intact in our source code. As long as these guidelines are kept, we expect to continue
enhancing this system and expect to make other tools available as they are completed.
There is no standard license header for the license
