A quick google search shows D is written with the boost license? Looks to be pretty free to me and wikipedia says the boost license co stitutes as free and open source, just not copyleft.

Considering copyleft is arguably more restrictive than not, it seems incredibly unfair, and untrue, to say it's monetized.

Whether it was previously seems irrelevant now.

D has never had a price tag on it.

I am sensing a lot of hostility in this thread and Walter Bright, the founder of D, is replying to direct accusations in this thread.

Mods?

What's going on HN?

Novelty accounts making idiot accusations is nothing new here, unfortunately.
