It should be under the Apache 2.0 license now.

Hi all,

As most of you know, Apple believes in the power of Open Source as a  
great way to enable adoption of standards-based technologies.  To  
make Bonjour even more attractive to various solution providers, we  
are pleased to announce that those portions of Bonjour previously  
under the Apple Public Source License** are now available under the  
widely-used Apache License, Version 2.0*.  The relicensed sources are  
currently available in the Bonjour CVS; additional information is  
available in the new Mac OS Forge community hosting site:

<http://bonjour.macosforge.org/>

We hope this inspires you to use Bonjour as part of even more  
innovative products.

Sincerely,
Ernest Prabhakar
Open Source Product Manager, Apple
