It is a generated file. If you really think it is necessary, you need
to patch its source, i.e., contrib/flex/src/parse.y, and regen the file.
However, I don't see much sense in automatically adding BSD license in
every generated file in the first place. In fact, I think it should not
appear on generated file at all. It may say something along the line of
"generated by flex" instead but IANAL.
