Yes, the license was changed to MIT just a few days ago.

Thanks for questioning that.  I was completely wrong.  The GPL marker is from
bison, which also grants an exception:

/* As a special exception, you may create a larger work that contains
   part or all of the Bison parser skeleton and distribute that work
   under terms of your choice, so long as that work isn't itself a
   parser generator using the skeleton or a modified version thereof
   as a parser skeleton.  Alternatively, if you modify or redistribute
   the parser skeleton itself, you may (at your option) remove this
   special exception, which will cause the skeleton and the resulting
   Bison output files to be licensed under the GNU General Public
   License without this special exception.

   This special exception was added by the Free Software Foundation in
   version 2.2 of Bison.  */

So that does not affect the MIT license on the work as a whole.  I have
included the examples in the -doc subpackage now, as well as pulled in one more
git push.  (It only changes the README.)  New URLs:
