I, too, am interested to know what this means. As far as I know (and http://developer.apple.com/opensource/internet/bonjour.html 
 agrees with me), Apple's implementation of Bonjour is still  
published under the Apache License... I do notice that the last  
release was three years ago, and that their CVS server (yikes) seems  
to be down (I wanted to check out the code and see if anything had  
been pushed there in the last 3 years), perhaps that's what he's  
referring to?
