Comment (by Skylark):

 Replying to [comment:4 tomkiewicz]:
 > I would really like to repackage those files, but I'm not sure, if these
 files are properly licensed, to do that. Does anyone knows it?

 From what I can see, there is a form you can sign and snail-mail (because
 we're in 1983) to have the right to redistribute the Bonjour client-side
 installer (I guess that's the Windows driver). See
 https://developer.apple.com/softwarelicensing/agreements/bonjour.php

 For the SDK itself, the header (Include/dns_sd.h) contains the following:

 So I think you're fine if you put the necessary headers/libs directly in
 your repository, and to be extra safe you could reproduce the above text
 in your documentation (in a section titled "Contains software from Apple
 Computer, Inc. under the following license"). But IANAL, this is just my
 interpretation of item 1 above.
