Speaking about the license... I was just checking the backend license, and
unfortunately I do not see a legal way to provide RPMs for users. The only
legal ways are 1) to get a source code and build it, without distributing
further 2) have packages distributed by copyright holders.

So my question is - is dlang.org a legal place to put the packages? 

>From the license: 
"<...> The Software is copyrighted and comes with a single user license,

please contact Digital Mars."

So, if I understand the text, DMD packages should only be distributed by
DigitalMars. If community from dlang.org and other places wants to distribute
DMD, that is, as far as I understand this license, ILLEGAL.
