> The metis LICENSE.txt says: "Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0". It does not say "or later" or "Version 2.x", so how do we know that any version 2 is ok? How do we know there won't be an Apache license version 2.1 in the future that has different terms? When I've found projects licensed under the Apache License version 2.0 I've tried to list them in the portfiles as "Apache-2.0".

Oh I see in the ticket you referred to http://guide.macports.org/#reference.keywords which says any ".0" should be omitted.

So that means "Apache-2" means the same as "Apache-2.0". I had incorrectly thought "Apache-2" would mean "Apache-2.x".

And this means we have no syntax for indicating that a project would be under "Apache-2.x"?
