==History==
D4 was named after the similar sounding [[Dataphor]], the system that uses the language. It was some time after these names were decided that Alphora discovered [[Tutorial D]], and the coincidence it had with that name. Since discovering Tutorial D and [[The Third Manifesto]], Alphora has used The Third Manifesto as a guide in making Dataphor and D4. Since then, [[Hugh Darwen]] has referred to D4, as a notable project in his talk entitled '''The Askew Wall'''<ref>[http://www.dcs.warwick.ac.uk/~hugh/TTM/TTM-TheAskewWall-printable.pdf The Askew Wall]</ref>.
 
In early 2008, the Alphora name and the Dataphor product were acquired by Database Consulting Group LLC, founded by the original developers of Dataphor, and was re-licensed as open source.
