It depends on your particular goal.



Q: In the usage of D, to write software, what restrictions are there on
written code (i.e. LGPL, GPL, or user decides)?

Walter said, "User decides." (http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews?digitalmars.D/244)



Q: What if a person wants to develop a D compiler based on the front-end source?

The DMD front-end source is available under dual (GPL and Artistic) license. Phobos, the D standard library, is also licensed as dual GPL/Artistic unless the individual file specifies otherwise.
