Does it possible to modify DMD and publish it in that form. Of course with full information about authors. Does it legal?
It depends. If you ONLY modify the front-end (front-end files are
identified as being licensed under GPL [1]), then you can distribute the
modified front-end.
However, if you modify the back end, you cannot redistribute those
files. You also cannot distribute a compiled version.
To be safe, it's probably best to just distribute any changes you make
as a patch.

[1] There's another license involved, but I forget what it's called.
Presumably you can modify and distribute LDC (under the GPL terms if it
is GPL. I forget)?
LDC = Front End + LLVM
