D is the most open language you will find. It is Boost licensed, which has the least restrictions of any language you'll find:

The compiler is 100% Boost licensed.

Nobody pays me a dime for D.

Terribly sorry about that. I've moved you into the list. It's been a long time now but I really did like D and its meta-programming features.
