The Apple pages with the protocol have a copyright notice on them, but I
am not sure if that applies to the protocol itself.
However, the similar Decentralized Privacy-Preserving Proximity Tracing
(DP-3T) protocol is open.
The privacy benefit of these protocols is that the list of where the
user has been is kept on their phone, not in a central database.
Wikipedia reports DP-3T is currently used by Austria, Belgium, Croatia,
Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and Switzerland.
