Most of the content was written by bearophile, no?  He licensed 
it to rosettacode, but is this an exclusive license - has he 
actually given his sole rights to use his work them?  If not, you 
can use his work if he agrees.  And I would guess if one asks 
rosettacode nicely they might give rights to relicense all D 
examples (ie especially the ones bearophile didn't write) under 
boost for the dlang web site.  And even if not, it's still worth 
having them in a subdirectory under a different licence.
