Where in the wiki did you read this? This is the first that I've ever heard
of it. I think that there was some kind of turning over of copyright that
was required in dmd for getting gdc into gcc proper, and IIRC, there was a
fair bit of complaining about that. Regardless, the code in Phobos is all
copyrighted by individual authors. The key thing is that it needs to be
licensed under Boost. So, if code exists under a different license, you'll
need permission to get it relicensed under the Boost license.
