How about bison?  If bison works like yacc, it incorporates a parser
written in C in its output, which may have copyright notices in it.  I
would have used bison myself for some projects if it weren't for this
restriction.  (There are a lot of places that, even though they don't
sell their code, refuse to have other people's statements of personal
philosophy in them.)
