Mount it, and then copy?
Why won't that work?

Because you might lose icon positions, ownership information, access rights, asf. Commented Apr 19, 2019 at 10:49
Mounting it first is definitely what Apple intended with the format, but I recently found a sketchy (via CNET) version of a package and was curious how it differed from the official version. I didn't trust OS X to mount it without potentially auto-running any malware it might have, so I just wanted a clean filesystem extract.
Turns out, (p)7-zip can do it! Supposing your disk image is named sketchy.dmg:
brew install p7zip
7z x sketchy.dmg
Which will extract everything in the image into the current directory, not necessarily into a new subdirectory like double-clicking .zip files in Finder does.
