why not? but better ask your employer, maybe your work contract has some restrictions.

There isn't anything in licensing of DMD, GDC, LDC, or the standard library which would prevent you from using them to create commercial applications.

Short answer: Yes, you can, you don't need to even think about it.

Long answer: Yes, as long as you conform to the Boost v1.0 license, meaning that if you distribute any uncompiled source code from druntime or phobos then you must include the license notice with your software. Also, distributing the compiler itself requires a certain amount of legal care. However, neither of those are relevant to a normal application.
