Yes, this is for real! Symantec has given their permission to
relicense it. Thank you, Symantec!
Well, this is certainly great news.
Does this make dmd the only compiler that's fully
boost-licensed? Usually, licenses like the GPL or BSD license
get used. I don't get the impression that the boost license is
all that common - at least not for actual programs as opposed
to libraries. From what I've seen, the fact that we use it so
heavily in the D community is abnormal, though it's as
hassle-free as you can get with an open source license, which
is great.

I was thinking the same thing. Its probably the most permissive
compiler out there now. MIT almost equal though.
