I think that's an unreasonable demand in a standard library. Incorporating
BSD code into phobos, any amount of it, requires that every D program
that is ever written to include their copyright notice, since phobos
is redistributed in binary form with every D program.

That's a pain to hobbyists and might be a roadblock to use the
language professionally.

As far as I know, the entire phobos library is currently public domain
or zlib license, which is basically just public domain written out
explicitly. That's the way it should remain.
