Thanks for working on this. I think Ian covered the main technical points. Was Digital Mars the only copyright holder? I see the assignment for GCC Digital Mars 2011-10-3 Assigns Past and Future Changes to the GNU D Compiler in copyright.list - if any parts (at least any GCC-specific parts in the front end as opposed to runtime libraries) have other copyright holders, they will also need to have assignments (and any significant changes to GCC outside the front end will similarly need to be covered by assignments). -- Joseph S.
