Thus, you can see that any License that restricts the freedom associated

To clarify - if you take A (Apache-licensed) and B (licensed under any
other license) and combine them into AB, you must follow the terms of both
licenses when distributing the combined work. Thus, the "derived" license
- the superset of terms in the licenses of A and B - is what matters.
The Apache license is designed to nearly disappear in the case of "AB",
since its requirements are so easy to satisfy.
Yes, this is an important clarification to make! Certainly my snippet could have been misread. I was speaking not of the combination of licenses, but the overall comparison of licenses.
