I can't even find them to get permission. I've tried.

[Freedos-devel] Yes, Digital Mars C/C++ is Boost Licensed!

2018-08-26 Thread Walter Bright

To answer some questions:

1. Any code (source or binary) distributed as part of the Digital Mars C/C++ 
development system that is copyrighted by Walter Bright, Digital Mars, or 
Symantec, is Boost licensed.


2. Code (source or binary) that is copyrighted by others, such as Microsoft, is 
not Boost Licensed. You can download (for free) and use them only as part of the 
DMC distribution.


3. Yes, you can still buy the DMC distribution:

https://digitalmars.com/shop.html

Some people prefer to buy (the price is pretty modest) and some people want a 
way to remunerate Digital Mars (thank you!), and this is a way to do it.


4. Yes, the DMC compiler is being converted to D!

5. Sorry, the D programming language does not support 16 bit development.

6. Sorry, the Zortech C++ compiler is not Boost licensed, because I was never 
able to get permission from all the rights holders. :-(
