Walter, could you give some comments about this? Does dmd violate anything?
It's probably in Walter's best interest to not even look at it.
On the one hand, it's probably a crap software patent that the Patent
Office has been handing out like candy, and removing basic features that
have been patented could cripple D. Whoever owns it might not decide to
sue, Walter's implementation might not infringe, it might be
invalidated, etc.
On the other hand, if Walter is sued and found to have infringed the
patent, and if he "willfully infringed", meaning he had knowledge of the
patent, then he could face up to three times damages.
