Yann,
Unfortunately it appears that Apple does not provide a license for this type of programming. I suggest that you do not do this project and that you do not count on any open source project that provides a DAAP protocol as being truly open source.
I'm sorry we can not help you more since it does sound like a cool project. Hopefully Apple will work out a way to engage the OS community in the future.
Please feel free to join us on other Cryptography projects. We can use all the help we can get.

Hello, Ron,
One of the cryptography team members has an interest in developing a
package
which includes the DAAP protocol.
I'm sorry to say that there isn't any way to approach this that will result in receiving Apple's blessing to do this.
The DAAP protocol isn't presently available for license from Apple, and we aren't able to provide a legal release or license for 3rd parties to create open or closed source implementations.
So, with regrets, there's no help or direction that I can provide.
Best regards,
Craig
