Wow there's a big fuss over there about it not being /really/ open source,
Seems kind of silly to me. The big deal with the full source for DMD being
available is that if DigitalMars disappears in a puff of smoke tomorrow,
customers have a means of preserving their investment in the language. This
can be a big deal for corporate users.
I'm not sure I see the big value here. If Digital Mars indeed went up
in smoke some day, how will the source help? They're still not allowed
to do anything but "personal use" with it...
If they're just building apps then all they need it for is "personal use."
