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.
