Well, open source is no guarantee, either. You still need the statement
from the author. But that's neither here nor there. Is the list of
contributors large? (I don't know -- I'm new to ANTLR.) If it isn't it
should be fairly easy to get a statement from everyone placing their
contributions in the public domain. If such a list doesn't already
exist, it might be useful to make checkin of code contingent on a
statement to that effect.
Later,
Chris.
