This has me wondering: is the code interpreting "apache" to be all versions of apache? If the version is missing, I thought it was suppose to default to 0.

From the Guide:
The proper format for license consists of the license name, followed by a hyphen and number if indicating a specific version. 
...
If the version number is a “.0” version, the “.0” should be omitted to make the version an integer.

Ah, so all Apache licenses conflict with gpl-1 and gpl-2.
