I don't know if this has been brought up before, but today I just 
happened to look at the text of the license that comes with dmd,

Well, with this kind of text, how can we *ever* expect D to be adopted?!

It says right there: don't touch me, I'm dangerous.

I'm talking specifically about this line right here:

> Do not install or distribute the Software if you are not accustomed
> to using or distributing experimental software.
