You can now modify it without needing to publish all your patches 
which the GPL license before required.
Of course, improvement patches (aka PRs) are still very welcome 
;-)

Just to clarify, given all the misinformation floating around 
about licenses, the GPL contains no such requirement. You are 
only required to make the source of a derived work available to 
recipients of that derived work. It's unlikely that anyone was 
ever distributing modified versions of the dub registry but 
wanted to keep their source code secret from the recipients.
