BNF grammar in specification license

# musicdenotation at gmail.com (11 years ago)

Does the BNF grammar for ECMAScript in the specification licensed under BSD license? The license says that "software" (code) is BSD-licensed. BNF grammar is machine-readable and -executable, is it software?

Dear Kalinni Gorzkis,

I'm curious to what you're hoping to achieve here. This is not your first email to this thread, and by searching on the web, I see you're sending a lot of related messages to various other language groups and what not. This makes me doubt you're actually interested in using the content in any way, or at least in a way that this becomes relevant for you. It might help us understand your goal. What are you trying to achieve?

Are you OCD-ing over licensing? That's fine, we all have our pet peeves. Maybe you have different views on licenses? Great, though this is probably not the best place for these discussions.

I'm curious, so please explain.
