Notes

A "parsegen" tool is used to generate `grammar.{l,y,h}` Flex/Bison/C-header files from the `grammar.pgs` source file. I have been unable to locate the correct "parsegen" tool. This is not necessary to use the program unmodified--the distribution tarball contains pre-generated versions of grammer.{l,y,h}; but it is necessary to build it from "source code" as defined by the GPL. I have emailed the maintainer asking what he remembers about parsegen (the last release of VCG was decades ago!), hopefully he replies.

Notes

Some of the source files (five of them [Luke: which ones?]) contain obfuscated code which contradicts section 3 of the GNU GPL.
