The GCC steering committee accepted the gofrontend code under a non-GPL license with the understanding that the master code would live in a separate repository that would be mirrored into the GCC repo (the master repository for gofrontend is currently at https://go.googlesource.com/gofrontend/). Personally I don't see a problem with doing the same for the D frontend. Ian
