Yes, there is no attribution: 
https://github.com/roman-d-boiko/SDC/blob/master/LICENCE. It is 
very similar to Boost. Actually, I prefer Boost only because it 
is slightly more popular and because the D standard library uses 
it. I'm perfectly happy with MIT, though, and already cloned SDC 
:)

Just interested about motivation behind choosing MIT.
