Hi,
Dr. Dobbs has a nice editorial article about the rise of new native
languages and it mentions
D.
http://www.drdobbs.com/architecture-and-design/232901652?cid=DDJ_nl_upd_2012-05-08_h&elq=60a2e0ea244a4667b97377cecc50110f
Unfortunely the editor also points out that D is not fully open source,
without specifiying what
exactly is not open source.
I've already posted a comment about it, stating that there are open
source implementations and the
complete code is available in Github.
Still not visible, maybe waiting approval.

DMD's backend isn't open source.
I know that, but DMD is only the reference compiler.
While this is an unfortunate situation, there are other D compilers
available,
which are fully open source.
The most important parts of D are the libraries and the compiler
frontend, and those are open source.
I'd that the most important part of FOSS isn't the license but the
process. And we are not here yet.
