<td>
<p><code>nftables</code> includes Bison-exception as described in
<a href="https://spdx.org/licenses/Bison-exception-2.2.html">Bison Exception</a>
which clearly states that is possible to create a lager work that contains part or
all of the Bison parser skeleton and distribute that work under terms of your choice,
so long as that work isn't itself a parser generator using the skeleton or a modified
version thereof as a parser skeleton.
</p>
<p>
Based on these facts, the package is considered GPL-3 free.
