It looks to me like it's dual licensed under one's choice of the 
Academic Free License or the GPL.

IANAL, but the academic license (1c) says that I can distribute copies 
of a derivative work. This sounds to me like I could statically link 
dbus into my app, and distribute the app as a "derivative work" under 
the terms of the AFL.

Hopefully someone on this list will correct me if I'm totally off base.
