xtc is a framework for building extensible source-to-source translators and compilers.

Generally, most code in xtc is released under the GPL. However, most runtime classes for Rats!-generated parsers, including classes for representing AST nodes, are released under the LGPL. Furthermore, all runtime classes for Typical-generated type checkers are released under the LGPL. In detail, the classes released under the LGPL are:

{@link xtc.parser.ParserBase}
{@link xtc.parser.Column}
{@link xtc.parser.Result}
{@link xtc.parser.SemanticValue}
{@link xtc.parser.ParseError}
{@link xtc.parser.ParseException}
{@link xtc.tree.Location}
{@link xtc.tree.Locatable}
{@link xtc.tree.Node}
{@link xtc.tree.Token}
{@link xtc.tree.Annotation}
{@link xtc.tree.Formatting}
{@link xtc.tree.GNode}
{@link xtc.typical.Analyzer}
{@link xtc.typical.Name}
{@link xtc.typical.Primitives}
{@link xtc.typical.Record}
{@link xtc.typical.Reduction}
{@link xtc.typical.Scope}
{@link xtc.typical.ScopeKind}
{@link xtc.typical.Tuple}
{@link xtc.typical.Variant}
{@link xtc.util.Action}
{@link xtc.util.EmptyIterator}
{@link xtc.util.Function}
{@link xtc.util.Pair}
{@link xtc.util.Runtime}
{@link xtc.util.SingletonIterator}
{@link xtc.util.State}
{@link xtc.util.SymbolTable}
{@link xtc.util.Tool}
{@link xtc.util.Utilities}

To ensure that a Rats!-generated parser is compatible with the LGPL, invoke Rats! with the -lgpl command line argument.
