I'm not so sure n0m@n would stop translating if DxD LN was licensed. The manga is licensed by YenPress and the LN most likely will too. As far as I know they don't go after fan translators, so although it would be taken off BT he could continue translating on his blog. I'm sure Zero-kun knew DxD would be licensed eventually when he said he would translate it till the very end.
