It shouldn't be a problem as long as those forks are for the purpose of 
developing patches to the main branch, as is done now in svn. I view it like 
people downloading the source from digitalmars.com.

Using the back end to develop a separate compiler, or set oneself up as a 
distributor of dmd, incorporate it into some other product, etc., please ask for 
permission.

Basically, anyone using it has to agree not to sue Symantec or Digital Mars, and 
conform to:
