It only gets interesting when we could land DMD in official repos, volunteering package maintainers are welcome and should please contact me. I hope we can sort out the redistribution part of the backend somehow. We should include the few commands to install the packages on the download page.

I feel sort of dumb now for not checking before asking that : ) And yes, but even if the backend was being converted to D that wouldn't change the license.

I think the best way to solve this is to work on LDC/GDC's compilation speed, I guess.
