The exception needs to be copied to the output file, e.g., to
parse-gram.c.  Otherwise, it will look as if we're slapping the
GPL on the output file, since the GPL is already there.

I tried to regularize the author-name placement.  Sorry, I didn't know
there was any consensus (or any disagreement) about whether author
names should be in the skeletons.  Personally I'd leave them out, but
it's not a big deal either way.
