Maybe true, but I was thinking of it from a different angle -- why the

So which do you suggest be used instead - the one that doesn't work on
Windows (no exceptions) or the one that requires Walter to give away
all rights to his work?
Actually, gcc doesn't require Walter to give away all rights to his
work just to use it as a backend (or else the gdc project wouldn't
exist). It would require ceding the rights only if Walter wanted D
to be part of the official gcc distribution.

No, the problem is that it potentially makes him give away the rights to
the dmd backend. Which I think he can't legally do, even if he wanted to.
