I think the terms have pretty much stayed the same. You are looking at September 30th unless they extend it.

Upon the termination of this License, you shall cease all use of the Apple Software and destroy all copies, full or partial, of the Apple Software.

How do you think this will effect systems that already have Boot Camp installed after the expiration date?

It will make your Mac mini self-destruct like something out of Mission Impossible! 
Just kidding. Here it is straight from the horse's mouth.
"The Windows installation on a user's Mac will continue to work after the Boot Camp license expires," said Apple spokeswoman Lynn Fox, in response to a query from CNET News.com. However, Fox said the Boot Camp Assistant software, which helps set up and manage Windows partitions, will not work after the beta period ends. Also, Fox said that Apple will not provide further driver updates for beta users."
