Speaking of which, are you able to remove the "The Software was not designed

reading it :P
Consider it like the DNA we all still carry around for fish gills!
In all seriousness, the backend license makes dmd look very strange. It
threw the lawyers I consulted for a serious loop. At a casual glance it
gives the impression of software that's massively out of date and out of
touch with the real world.
I know that updating it would likely be very painful, but is it just
painful or impossible? Is it something that money could solve?
I'd chip in to a fund to replace the license with something less... odd.

Make that a nice open source license and I'm happy to throw some money
at it too :>
