file (currently it is Windows only, DMD2.026, and Phobos) at
http://www.britseyeview.com/dcat/.

It works with Apache2, and uses the AJP13 protocol like Tomcat.

Interesting. Just as I was thinking of creating a web app in D. What's the license? -- Michel Fortin michel.fortin michelf.com http://michelf.com/

I suggest Boost or zlib/libpng.

I realize there are legal subtleties in all these licenses. In your view, why is Boost better than BSD? Just curious.

BSD requires all copies (including binary code) to carry a copy of the licence (i.e. in an about box, product documentation, etc). The Boost or zlib/libpng licences don't require binary copies to carry a copy of the licence. D runtime / Phobos use a combination of Boost and zlib/libpng (mainly libpng). Commercial companies can have issues with the requirements of the BSD licence.

Because with Boost you don't have to include the license when distributing a copy that is, as the license says, "machine-executable object code generated by a source language processor"

By looking at the code, I've found a license. Not sure which license it is (looks a little BSD-like), but at least the terms are clear. Some (not all) modules start with this: * Copyright (C) 2007 Steve Teale * * This software is provided 'as-is', without any express or implied * warranty. In no event will the authors be held liable for any damages * arising from the use of this software. * * Permission is granted to anyone to use this software for any purpose, * including commercial applications, and to alter it and redistribute it * freely, subject to the following restrictions: * * 1.

I had subsequently gone through the sources and added a BSD license, but now I have gone through them again, and put the zlib/libpng license back. I will post the modified zip today. This of course excludes the stuff that was modified from Eric Anderton's DDL work. I will attempt to contact Eric, and ask if he will allow the modified versions to be put under zlib/libpng. Is this a satisfactory approach within the D community?
