Interesting. Just as I was thinking of creating a web app in D.

What's the license?

Hmm, forgot about that stuff, BSD maybe - suggest one please.


I suggest Boost or zlib/libpng.


I realize there are legal subtleties in all these licenses. In your view, why 
is Boost better than BSD? Just curious.



Because with Boost you don't have to include the license when 
distributing a copy that is, as the license says, "machine-executable 
object code generated by a source language processor"

I had subsequently gone through the sources and added a BSD license, but now I 
have gone through them again, and put the zlib/libpng license back. I will post 
the modified zip today.

This of course excludes the stuff that was modified from Eric Anderton's DDL 
work. I will attempt to contact Eric, and ask if he will allow the modified 
versions to be put under zlib/libpng.

Is this a satisfactory approach within the D community?

BSD requires all copies (including binary code) to carry a copy of the  
licence (i.e. in an about box, product documentation, etc). The Boost or  
zlib/libpng licences don't require binary copies to carry a copy of the  
licence. D runtime / Phobos use a combination of Boost and zlib/libpng  
(mainly libpng). Commercial companies can have issues with the  
requirements of the BSD licence.

I realize there are legal subtleties in all these licenses. In your view, why 
is Boost better than BSD? Just curious.

This is incomplete at this point, but there's a working example. I have to 
break off now and do some building work. You can find documentation and a zip 
file (currently it is Windows only, DMD2.026, and Phobos) at 
http://www.britseyeview.com/dcat/.

It works with Apache2, and uses the AJP13 protocol like Tomcat.
