The sources have been combined into a ** single file to make it easy to include LEMON as part of another ** program. ** This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or ** modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public ** License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either ** version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. It looks as though you need to include at least a piece of it in your code and this piece is GPL'ed which pretty much rules it out. -Rasmus
