Still, would it be legal to embed a dmd build environment into a binary 
to unzip it at run time to compile code as needed? To compile a shared 
library to dynamically load, from source code that is also embedded?L 
Poor person's JIT compilation? :)

I am currently implementing it without the dmd part. Curious about 
whether dmd part would be legal or not.

P.S. What about the 'unzip' program? May I embed that as well? The whole 
OS? Ok, I started having too much fun... :)

It's all boost licensed, right? Should be fine because of that 
(best leave a copyright notice just to be sure)

Unzip is probably GPL'ed if it's from Linux, but could be 
distributed without source of unmodified (if your program only 
works with a specific GPL'ed program then it can be in violation 
of the GPL to not publish it's source but it's just a archive 
manager)

Boost requires the whole license to be available unless you only 
distribute a pure machine executable.

Good to know. I normally include copyright and licence notices 
anyway just to be sure (and I think a project should display what 
went into it, like sausages)

Phobos' std.zip is good enough to make your own!
