Today I have received his answer mail! And he says only: "I think that 
D4X is not needed anymore" without informations about licensing.

No, because it is the fully source code of this package.

Thanks for your answers. After some searching I have seen the successor 
can be 'uget' aka 'urlgfe'.

So there is only on step to do: Move d4x into the non-free archive. 
I hope the Debian QA Team will do it (the have done the last updates).

Fondest regards,
