I think that's an unreasonable demand in a standard library. Incorporating BSD code into phobos, any amount of it, requires that every D program that is ever written to include their copyright notice, since phobos is redistributed in binary form with every D program. That's a pain to hobbyists and might be a roadblock to use the language professionally. As far as I know, the entire phobos library is currently public domain or zlib license, which is basically just public domain written out explicitly. That's the way it should remain. -- Adam D.
