There is an exception in these headers:

   As a special exception, you may create a larger 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. 

IIRC openSUSE legal did not object to its inclusion due to this, in
fact:

$ rpm -qi kholidays | grep License
License     : LGPL-2.1+

If there were one, it would get immediately rejected.
