Don't quote me, but the only way distributions can ship DMD is

Unless I'm misunderstanding how the arch repositories work,
Dicebot has the Arch dmd package setup with dmd hosted on the
arch servers/mirrors. I presume this is with Walter's
permission.

Well it is still not 100% legal because every single mirror owner
needs to get that permission too as far as I understand the
license. Because mirroring also can be considered redistribution.
But I am not most lawful person, especially when it comes to
copyright and license issues :)
