The FSF has declared the Apache license to be a Free license. I think they know more about it than you do.
Even so, the Apache license definitely qualifies as an Open Source license, which means you are free from vendor lock-in, free to fork the code and distribute the result, and so on.
But maybe you're worried that the Apache license is going to limit the acceptance of their Open Source Java implementation. What's the matter? Is Apache's 70 percent marketshare not good enough for you?
