Short version it’s GPL and the “FOSS exception” license is no longer valid. Even it it was it (from my reading) it places a restriction on software that it can only be used with open source software. It seems to be a weak copy left style license and that would be a restriction on top of what the Apache license allows. The Apache license allows non open source software to use Apache licensed software. It is also not in Apache's Category A,B or X lists.[1] you’ll need to ask legal-discuss to take a look at it and determine if it is allowed or not. Note that Category X includes GPL with special exceptions.
