As it is stated in the Dia Homepage, it's licensed under GPL 2

In general terms and based on our experience (as I am not qualified to
offer legal advice) you may use it for anything you want (including
commercial purposes) unless you plan to re-distribute the program. If
you plan re-distrbute the Dia program as such, you must follow the GPL
2 license which is also referenced in the above link. Just read the
license and follow it. If you have any specific legal questions about
the GPL 2, you can write to the Free Software Foundation
(http://www.fsf.org) or consult with an Intellectual Property lawyer.

Best,
