What makes you think that? Perhaps you are thinking of the "DECUS YACC" incident, where the real AT&T Yacc got onto a DECUS tape. This was quickly removed by DECUS, but continues to resurface occasionally on BBSes and the net. As far as I know, all other DECUS software (in particular their versions of CPP and Lex) is legitimate freely distributable stuff.

Decus cpp is a complete re-write by Martin Minow, it is public domain, and has been around for years.

I suspect it is possible to cut down decus cpp to size, and the last time I looked, I found it to a tad slower than other cpp's. Maybe somebody can make it smaller and faster ?? oz --- First learn your horn and all the theory. Internet: oz@nexus.yorku.ca Next develop a style.
