Is there a plain English explanation of the Academic Free License anywhere?  I
read this somewhere on the Tango website before, but I wasn't sure how significant
it was, since the Academic Free License is dense, long legalese w/o any plain
English explanations.

It would be truly great if Tango could be used under a license with permissiveness
equivalent to the Boost license.  It would help mend a pretty significant rift in
the D community that started over a minor technicality.
