What about the users of the language? Suppose the standard library was
BSD licensed and I wrote a D program. Am I now required to add their
copyright notice with my program whenever I distribute it?

That's a pain in the ass. I like to distribute my programs in binary form
just by giving a link to the .exe saying 'here it is, do whatever you want
with it. Have fun!' With the BSD license restrictions, I couldn't do that.

The license in the phobos files is perfect for me. That's how a standard
library should be licensed - infinitely convenient.
