Of course, that's not a patent license for SURF, it's a copyright license for the implementation there. Unless I'm mistaken, that's irrelevant to the main use of SURF in the hugin &c community, which is panomatic.
The expiration of the SIFT patent clears up the ambiguity around autopano-sift-c. The "WARNING: UBC has a patent, applications may require a license" could be removed from the README and derivative works can be made without legal reservations.
