This is something Walter wants to avoid with the standard library (I
agree) but for utility programs it is unimportant since they can be used
to build the binary and since they are not distributed with the created
binary there is no need to distribute the BSD license.
Exactly. This won't affect anything built with the DMD compiler and Phobos.
So the discussion for the library Orbit uses should remain related on
how much trouble there will be from having an official program use a
library not part of d-programming-language/tools and friends.
Yes. We can also discussion why that library cannot be part of
d-programming-language/tools and friends.
