No. See http://cr.yp.to/distributors.html.

But the original question was about djbdns-installer, and the patch
would be applied after downloading pristine sources from DJB's server.
This is okay, because DJB says "You are free to download the software
from my web server; you then own that copy of the software, and you are
free to compile it and run it." (from the same page)
