Does any one know of any compiler design companies going to be introducing any D
compilers?  D looks very promising, is it known how many people are currently
making use of if?

In the usage of D, to write software, what restrictions are there on written
code (i.e. LGPL, GPL, or user decides)?

I have not heard that any company besides Digitalmars is going to 
introduce a D compiler. There is a comunity afford to create a GCC frontend.
There is no restriction on written code. You can write whatever, 
whenever. You decide which license you use.

There's Digital Mars, and there's Gnu D.

My guess is 5 to 10 thousand, based on download rates.

User decides.
