As you suspected, you are misunderstanding.  The same

That's what the Apache foundation thinks. I asked the FSF about this yesterday, and they seem to think otherwise. Dave Turner, their GPL Compliance Engineer, told me in no uncertain language that the Apache 2.0 license is *not* compatible with the GPL. :-( It might behoove the Apache folks to confer with the FSF folks, and find out what the sticking point is.
