Since I've only heard of that/those/whatever once, and that was before I joined SL, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say... no.

Consequently, even if their lexer and parser are lex'd and yacc'd, they have no duty to provide us with sources under the GPL, if that's why you asked the question. That said, LSL is a very small language, and a noddy lex+yacc translater targetting a state machine written in something safe like Python or Perl wouldn't be a major development effort. (As a quick prototype I mean, not a production system.) |
