If you can avoid it, I would stay away from DGD. The license is owned by Skotos, and should you ever have even the tiniest intention of a commercial use, the licensing fee is absolutely insane.

I remember talking to them about it some many years ago and (recalling from memory - the exchange was many years ago) it starts at $100,000 per year base with additional costs based on the number of users and a variety of other things. DGD is nice, but not that nice. Anyone capable of writing a commercial quality mud could write their own driver for a lot less than that.
