I was also wondering about this.  It seems that there would have to be 
explicit permission since the dmd packaged download is not on dsource. 
The original permission for Tango/dmd download was specific to dsource 
only and through the Tango webspace only (if I remember correctly).

Perhaps these guys got extra permission from Walter?  If so, it would be 
nice if they had made this information known in their announcement. :)
