Sorry in advance for the long Post...
No, not GPLed - it may be useful (i am notoriously unspecific)
Here is the copyright on LCC:
Copyright (c) 1991,1992,1993,1994,1995 by AT&T, Christopher W. Fraser,
and David R. Hanson. All Rights Reserved.
Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software for any
purpose, subject to the provisions described below, without fee is
hereby granted, provided that this entire notice is included in all
copies of any software that is or includes a copy or modification of
this software and in all copies of the supporting documentation for
such software.
[disclaimer snipped]
lcc is not public-domain software, shareware, and it is not protected
by a `copyleft' agreement, like the code from the Free Software
Foundation.
lcc is available free for your personal research and instructional use
under the `fair use' provisions of the copyright law. You may,
however, redistribute lcc in whole or in part provided you acknowledge
its source and include this CPYRIGHT file. You may, for example,
include the distribution in a CDROM of free software, provided you
charge only for the media, or mirror the distribution files at your
site.
You may not sell lcc or any product derived from it in which it is a
significant part of the value of the product. Using the lcc front end
to build a C syntax checker is an example of this kind of product.
You may use parts of lcc in products as long as you charge for only
those components that are entirely your own and you acknowledge the
use of lcc clearly in all product documentation and distribution
media. You must state clearly that your product uses or is based on
parts of lcc and that lcc is available free of charge. You must also
request that bug reports on your product be reported to you. Using the
lcc front end to build a C compiler for the Motorola 88000 chip and
charging for and distributing only the 88000 code generator is an
example of this kind of product.
Using parts of lcc in other products is more problematic. For example,
using parts of lcc in a C++ compiler could save substantial time and
effort and therefore contribute significantly to the profitability of
the product. This kind of use, or any use where others stand to make a
profit from what is primarily our work, requires a license agreement
with Addison-Wesley. Per-copy and unlimited use licenses are
available; for more information, contact
