I know this has been raised before, but I'm still unsure of the type of license that applies to both the compiler and libraries.

I was wondering if we could have an entry in the FAQ that goes beyond the "Will D be open source".  An entry that explains exactly what the licence(s) are, and what ramifications they will have on the commercial use of D?

Thanks,

Tony

All this licensing crap seems like silly PC BS to me.  I haven't been programming that long, has it always been like this ?  Or is this another unfortunate side effect of the open source communist movement ?
