Yes, I was the one who handled the big CEDET merge; since the parsers
are Emacs Lisp source code, I didn't think there would be an issue with
the GPL.  My apologies for the screw-up.

If we must include the original grammar files, they are these six files
from the CEDET tarball:

c.by
make.by
scheme.by
javascript-jv.wy
java-tags.wy

There are two options: I can either put these six files in the etc/
directory and regenerate the tarballs, or put them in a separate tarball
in the FTP directory as the Emacs tarballs.  Since the .wy and .by files
are not currently integrated into the Emacs make process (that is one of
the things planned for 24.2), but have to be generated by hand to obtain
the files found in the lisp/ tree, these two options are functionally
equivalent AFAICT.
