From section 19.1 of the DJGPP FAQ list:
Two GNU packages, `Flex' and `Bison', are also special in that using them to
produce your programs doesn't place your programs under GPL or LGPL. In
other words, lexers produced by `Flex' and parsers produced by `Bison' do
*not* imply GPL/LGPL.
So neither Bison nor Flex place the code you produce with them under
GPL.
