lisence.txt in dmd binary distribution says:

"The Software is copyrighted and comes with a single user license,
and may not be redistributed. If you wish to obtain a redistribution
license,
please contact Digital Mars."

In my view. only src/dmd is under GPL/Artistic License,
phobos is not. (of cource, src/etc/c/* ported library have its licence)
Is it right?
if so, we cannot distribute modified version of phobos code,
as long as no reply from digital mars .. and Walter is busy.

As a result:
- Many ppl say [bug]...

some bug is in phobos rather than compiler.
we can fix personaly, but cannot release.


- GCC frontend work in progress.

Does it means that someone will rewrite phobos compatible library under GPL compatible licence from scratch to run?

Unless the individual file says otherwise, it's under the dual GPL/Artistic license.
