The software comprising Apple Befunge proper is in the public domain, as
described in the following Unlicense:

The disk image included in the distribution contains boot code which is
part of the ESDOS ][ disk format. This is most likely copyrighted material
and therefore NOT in the public domain. However, it is difficult to imagine
that its authors object to this code being redistributed for non-commercial
purposes, especially given its function. ESDOS ][-formatted disk images
have been available for download on the Internet for years now with, it would
seem, no controversy at all. (But don't go reverse-engineering it or trying
to sell it, as that's likely not what its authors had in mind.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The contributed Befunge-93 example sources included on the disk image
are copyrighted works made by their respective authors. They are not
open-source or in the public domain, but their contributors' willingness to
allow them to be included in this distribution implies that they are all
freely redistributable unmodified for non-commercial purposes. If you wish
to base your next best-selling novel on one of them, you should seek out and
contact its author for permission first.
