Deimos projects have no relation to each other beyond the fact that they're 
all in the same group on github. They're simply D bindings to a variety of 
unrelated libraries which were written in C. So, the license of one project 
has no bearing on the license of another.

Given that they're bindings, I would expect them to have the same license as 
the original C code. In the case of flac, I outright copied the copyrights from 
the C code. It really doesn't make much sense IMHO to give the bindings a 
different license from the original. At best, you might be able to get away 
with marking them as Boost, but since you'd be using the original library to 
do anything, you'd still be restricted by its license. But I'm not a lawyer, 
so I don't know what all of the murky details are. It just seemed simplest to 
me to copy the copyrights over.

As for the opengl deimos project, I don't know what its license is. It's 
probably listed in the copyright notices in the files.
