Hi,
The Academic Free License (X-style license currently used by D-BUS) has
a new version 2.0. You can find it here:
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/afl-2.0.php
Some of the changes include:
- the "termination for patent action" clause is more clear;
it now specifically applies only to suing the licensor, or
suing with respect to D-BUS itself.
- the license is synced up with the OSL; the AFL and OSL are
now identical except OSL has LGPL-like derived work
restrictions.
See:

If you have contributed code previously under the AFL 1.2, please follow
up (to the list, so there's a record) and let me know if your code may
be relicensed under the AFL 2.0.
