I think I will use some code from SDC and contibute back to it 
now that it is liberally licensed. It wasn't an option when it 
was under GNU, because I generally prefer possibility for 
commercial usage.

However, I believe that the project I'm working on (DCT) has a 
good potential and the D community will better benefit from two 
alternatives. There are several design differences, and will be 
more. This also gives me additional flexibility and more learning 
opportunities.

I will dual-license (Boost+MIT) any part of my code if somebody 
would like to incorporate such part in SDC. My question about 
motivation for MIT licence was caused in particular by desire to 
minimize possible overhead of dealing with two licenses for me.
