Hi all,

We currently have "GPL (v3 or later) (with Bison parser exception)" in the list of allowed licenses in checklicenses.py. Presumably that was because we shipped Bison-generated code at one time. However, our last .y file was removed in 2020 in f21cd2e23f and I can't find any code in our repository or in our dependencies that uses this particular license. Does anyone object to removing it from our allow list?


I created MR #12533 which removes "GPL (v3 or later) (with Bison parser exception)" from our allow list. I'll leave it open until next Wednesday to allow time for discussion.
