A couple of weeks ago Alex White, one of the officers of MKS, stated
categorically that NONE of the programs which make up the MKS toolkit
are ported, derived, or licensed from AT&T code. Since MKS YACC is part of
the Toolkit, this statement would seem to apply to it, too.

MKS RCS is licensed from Walter Tichy, and the MKS Text formatting package
(whose exact name I can't recall) is a repackaging from SoftQuad's DWB
port, and is thus licensed from AT&T, but neither of these are part of the 
MKS Toolkit but are separately sold products.
