Strictly speaking, that's not true. Even if the submitter would still
be required to have copyright assignment for the FSF, they could be
copyable to the DMD front-end _as long as the submitter himself sends
them for inclusion there too_. This is the practical significance of
the license grant

I think the main reason is that DMD front end sources are dual licensed
with GPL and Artistic License. The DMD backend is not under an open

The current DMD front end code is GPL licensed, and copyright is owned
by Digital Mars. If they were

The most direct route for this to happen is to use the existing Digital
Mars DMD front end.
