It's under a permissive (MIT/BSD-style) open-source license, though you're right that it doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere on the site, at least that I can find. There's a license.js file in the actual distribution, though: http://github.com/sproutit/sproutcore/blob/master/license.js

Personally I use SproutCore because I'm far more comfortable in JS/HTML/CSS.
