I think that's just false. With money the backend could be bought from

What is so great about this back-end (no offense)? Why can it not be
replaced with something like LLVM or GCC? Why can we not have LDC or
GDC be
the official compiler?
Walter is intimately familiar with the current back-end, and he (perhaps
rightly) fears that if he looks at other back-ends, he is much more
likely to be sued for copyright infringement.
