Hi all,

I've tried to contact Thomas before moving dstress to a public repository but 
didn't get a reply. I had spoken to other people at the time, but no one 
seemed to be able to get in contact with him.

Dstress' license.txt says GPL v2.

LDC's mini tests are currently under the same license as LDC itself: BSD.
