One for all those NetLawyers out there. (Apologies if this is a faq).

If I write a load of C++, then use e.g. AT&T's cfront to convert it into
ANSI C, what is the legal status of those C files? Are they my own, and
allowed any distribution I choose, or are they only permitted to be used
as intermediates on the machine on which they were created?

			Thanks in advance...
