No, I'm not *bashing*. Were I the owner of DMD, the restrictions
facilitated by the GPL are exactly what I'd want.
I think we're agreed here really, ed.

There's no need to link with DMD.
I assumed we were talking about using the frontend as a means to
enable syntax-highlighting and such, rather than simple
invocation of the DMD compiler, which of course wouldn't be a
problem.
It doesn't need to because it doesn't link with GCC. It uses
invokes GCC as an external process to
build projects.
XCode uses its own C/C++/Objective-C/Objective-C++ parser then, I
take it?

Not true, the DMD frontend is dual-licensed, both GPL and the
Artistic license:
You're right. Looking at Point 7, the Artistic Licence might
allow integration of the front-end into a commercial IDE, for,
say, syntax highlighting.

I'd hope not. ;)
Other than the Artistic Licence dual-licensing, what did I get
wrong?
