 Hello Mr. Bright, as we discussed previously, I have packaged up dmd for 
 FreeBSD ports.  You can view the results here:
 
 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=152282
 
 I am also sending this email to that public thread using the 
 bug-followup@ email and I ask that you do the same with your response. 
 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe no permission should be necessary 
 to include dmd in ports, since we merely link to your software and 
 provide an easier way to install it.  However, we usually also mirror 
 and/or redistribute software included in ports, so we will need your 
 permission for that.  Specifically,
 
 1. Is it okay to redistribute your zip file containing the dmd source 
 and binaries, either through a mirror or on a paid FreeBSD CD?
 
 2. Is it okay to distribute our own FreeBSD binary packages built from 
 your dmd source, either through a mirror or on a paid FreeBSD CD?
 
 At the very least, it would be nice to be able to mirror the zip file 
 online, so that people can reach it if your site goes down or if they 
 only use freebsd.org domains to download ports.  Please let me know how 
 I should set it up.
 
 btw, I had one issue when compiling Phobos, I had to take the 
 zlib/gzio.o entry out of freebsd.mak, looks like an oversight from when 
 it was removed from the latest zlib update.
