+"GPL version 3 or later" license. Note that only the tool itself
+is covered by this license, not the source code generated by it. The
+pidl authors do not consider generated code a derived work of pidl.

parts are still covered by the GPL, and NOT by the Lesser General Public
License or any other license.
