Perhaps they are being too picky.  Walter gave permission to 
FreeBSD ports in a single email and they distribute the dmd zip 
from their mirror as a backup, though I'm not sure how many other 
mirrors they use for this.  I think it might even be bundled up 
in the official CD, which is probably distributed across many 
mirrors.
