Seems BSD should be Our Way
If the attribution clause in the BSD license really does cover application binaries built containing a BSD-licensed library then it's pretty much not an option in most corporate environments. I've tried to get corporate documentation and legal teams to agree with this in the past and was unsuccessful, to say the least.
On Don's recommendation I've switched the Druntime license to use the Boost license instead of BSD. It's about as permissive as possible without making the code public domain, and doesn't have any of the weird problems "public domain" licensed software seems to have both with US corporate lawyer paranoia and countries abroad with no legal support for "public domain" copyrights.
It's nice to see ESR coming around about the GPL though. I don't know anyone that will go near GPL-licensed source code for exactly the reasons he mentions.
