Then they should choose a mixed license like the Mozilla Public License or CDDL,

could care less if they're okay with it or not, I was just surprised that they
chose the BSD license and then were mad when someone was thinking about closing
it up.
I should point out that the Boost license was chosen for Phobos specifically
because it allowed
people to copy it and use it for whatever purpose, including making closed
source versions, adapting
them for use with Go :-), whatever.
Actually, Boost was specifically chosen because it didn't require attribution when redistributing.
If BSD hadn't had that clause we probably would be using it instead.
