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.
