What would you sell it outright for? As in I would own it and have

As a non-exclusive license, probably $500.
Not a license, *own*. As in I *own* my hat. (ignoring the question of
would you still own your copy)
You can't have two people own the same copyright. One owns the
copyright, and the other has a non-exclusive license to do whatever he
wants with it. The other has effective ownership, but it's done as a
license.
I'm not going to transfer the copyright, because then what am I going
to put in the D compiler?
I didn't expect you would even consider it and I can easely see some pointy
haired boss refusing to allow licenced code into a product.
But that's really beside the point. I could come up with several
somewhat reasonable reasons why "just use my code" isn't a good
answer to having gotcha in the lexical spec. If you really want to go
that way, then the lexical spec should officially BE the lexer source
code.
I don't see where the "gotcha" is. It's not trivial, but it's
specifiable, and the code implementing it is there and is correct.
well for one thing the spec is wrong:
