Well, this is certainly great news. Does this make dmd the only compiler that's fully boost-licensed? Usually, licenses like the GPL or BSD license get used. I don't get the impression that the boost license is all that common - at least not for actual programs as opposed to libraries. From what I've seen, the fact that we use it so heavily in the D community is abnormal, though it's as hassle-free as you can get with an open source license, which is great. - Jonathan M Davis
