A better way to clarify it would be:
There are three D compilers available. Two of them have always been fully open source. Parts of one were originally source available rather than open source, but that one is now 100% open source as well. The website failed to communicate this information properly at the time the author first tried D.
The D website had, shall we say, uneven quality of communication back in the old days.
- JNRowe 6y agoI've leaned on simply "yeah, but long since solved" when lunchtime chats were still a thing. It was the fastest way to shut down that branch in my experience. However, I do like your full and complete answer. It acknowledges the old situation and completely nullifies it. I'll steal your second paragraph for when coffee time returns to normal ;)
