I'm going to be pretty blunt on this but we just went through 
something similar with LLM usage and the EU.

The DLF is wholly located in the US and thus is subject solely to 
the jurisdiction of the US. The EU can do exactly nothing to the 
DLF from a legal standpoint without severing their internet 
connections with the US (and anywhere else outside EU borders).

If EU persons download and use D, then they are entirely 
responsible for managing their compliance with EU law. 
Furthermore, there is nothing the DLF can do legally to help them 
as DLF has no legal presence in the EU and thus no access to 
lawyers who could help ensure compliance. This was also requested 
during the LLM debate and then, as now, the DLF concluded that it 
had no ability to make such a legal proclamation.

There are no plans to adjust anything. Nor would we be able to 
enforce any such rules on package maintainers.

All D users in the EU are strongly recommended to seek local 
counsel in this and other matters. The DLF cannot provide any 
legal guidance.
