Because the new 2.0 license explicitly avoids mentioning which party is granting the license. It's a totally generic open-source license, usable by any project without changing a single word. The "apache" references within the license just mean that the license was written by the Apache legal team, and implies nothing about the license *being issued*. Instead, the wording of the license refers to an associated "Notice" file for details of who exactly the license is being issued by, and who needs to be given credit, etc. At least that's my understanding. IANAL and all that. The apache licensing web pages are very explicit about a NOTICE file having to be included with exactly the wording of Yoav's commit.
