Well, the good news is DBM plans to have better callbacks which can be used by other addons like VEM to become a plugin of DBM.
Let's just hope that day comes sooner than late.

To translate that into more understandable terms:
DBM was open source, this meant that people could take the work, transform it into something else, and redistribute ithe transformed work to the masses.
VEM (legally) took advantage of this to make their work making a Voiced version of DBM (plus some other added features).
MysticalOS (?) decided he (?) didn't like that he was working so very hard for so very long, only to have someone take his work and "make it better". (Which is completely understandable.)
This led to MysticalOS (?) deciding to change the project to a non-open-source type, meaning people can't take the work, transform it, and distribute that modified work anymore.
As for the download being disabled, it could be because the new version of DBM has changed to a non open-source, and they're preventing issues, or it could be that VEM had taken the new version and transformed it, not realizing the license had changed.
Either way, the end result is that MysticalOS (?) would like for people to (eventually) create plug-ins for DBM to do such things as Voice and arrows, instead of legally ninjaing/piggybacking on his(?) hard work.
I don't know how long it will be before DBM is ready for such plug-ins and has improved their callbacks, but I do know that it will be a sad time for many who are waiting.
