It is in several places, such as:
http://www.opendarwin.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/system_cmds/APPLE_LICENSE?rev=1.1.1.1&content-type=text/plain

It is interesting to note that a lot of code doesn't mention any license
or copyright.

Yes. It is confusing -- especially when you are concerned with being legal
when reusing code for public (and/or proprietery) distribution. (It is
nice when code is simply freeware, public domain, or BSD-like licensed.)

p.s. Is anyone interested in writing an article about the differences
between (or purposes of) OpenDarwin and regular Darwin OS? Please let me
know off-list.
