DMD is deliberately licensed as permissively as possible. It 
[would be public 
domain](https://forum.dlang.org/post/53AAF314.5090208@digitalmars.com) but the belief is IIRC that that's not recognized in all countries, while the Boost license has been tested in court. Whether that's true is up to lawyers. Any way, I don't add that line for copyright, it's just there for transparency, and from what I gathered that co-author line is the standard way to disclose which model has been used. I'm open to alternatives.

I also appreciate most feedback, but unfortunately negative 
comments always hit so much harder psychologically - even when I 
agree with them!

I sometimes gently ask someone to write pull requests instead of 
rants, it usually doesn't go over well 😬
