I discourage such behaviour, but the statements made by you and
ketmar in response to Daniel meet similarly low standards. I
suggest not to ascribe this incident too much importance.
I made no response to Daniel. (but his response was not polite)

No, the DMD developers have to back the license.
If the dev team don't undestand their own license then there are

1. The project is lacking proper management.
2. They failed to add a clause to the contract.
3. Hypocracy.
Nothing prevents you from locking the license to the language

implies that forking, competition and exploitation is ok by the
author. Pretending this is not the case will just create
confusion and noise.
