The d-man was added in 
https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org/pull/359 by Marcil Martin and 
as dlang.org was boost-licensed back then and considering that 
the icon was made for dlang.org, I think it's safe to assume that 
the author was okay with it being with it being Boost-licensed.

Yes.

I don't think that there's any problem, but I'm not a lawyer.

BTW the other d-mans in this repo are from 
https://twitter.com/meiz_sandwich and he is also okay for it to 
be used for any kind of D promotion. Unfortunately due to 
language translation problems that's the only "license" we could 
agree on back then.

Now that there is an actual D language foundation, would it be 
useful for the Foundation to buy the rights (or request that they 
be donated) for D-man and register the copyright with the USCO?
