... but importantly, Python and PHP (and Ruby, and Haskell, and others) were 
fully open source in their reference implementations from the get-go, or at 
least from very early on.  This isn't just important in itself, but has a 
multiplicative impact with inclusion in the Linux distros, BSD's, etc. which 
make up the server infrastructure of the web.

It also enables all sorts of 3rd-party suppliers who feel comfortable including 
the software in their hosting provision because they can be certain they won't 
in future suffer from the commercial constraints of a proprietary supplier.

D's reference implementation _still_ isn't fully open source -- only the 
frontend -- and the available open source compilers lag behind the reference.
