However, a lot of the javacc source files contain copyright notices
that contradict it being Free Software.  Arguably, the top-level license
overrides, but the situation is a mess long ignored by javacc developers:

It seems javacc is very lackadaisical when it comes to licensing
issues, so ClassPath (as a GNU project) needs to be very cautious
about including javacc code.
