RSTA's license will likely be changed to modified BSD moving forward, to appease folks who want a more liberal license for whatever reason. I thought I had documented at one point that you can simply remove most of the *TokenMaker classes you don't need, but I can't seem to find it anywhere, and I see now that in theory, the LGPL license would burden a user doing so with publishing the "source code" for their changes. With BSD this shouldn't be an issue.

It might be helpful to potential users of RSTA if the "modes" folder of the distribution jar were pulled out and separately licensed. Even better would be a set of LGPL-licensed libraries so users could distribute only the language library actually needed, or none at all in the case where RSTA is being used for a custom domain-specific language.
