As with D 1.0, most of the source is under either the Artistic or Boost or zlib license, but the source for the compiler backend requires permission for redistribution: "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." I contacted the author, Walter Bright, and he said it would be okay include dmd 2.0 in ports, as long as it's marked as unofficial and not validated to work well on FreeBSD. I'll ask him what redistribution setup he will allow for this port and post his preferences here. http://hybridsource.org/dmd2.shar.txt >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
