Not for the DMD front end.

While the FSF will license the code back to Digital Mars, if the gdc folks 
contribute code that is FSF copyrighted, I cannot incorporate that back into the 
dmd front end.

In other words, any changes in gdc that affect the front end should be given to 
Digital Mars, I will transfer the copyright to FSF, and get the license back. 
Otherwise, I cannot fold in those changes.
