Oh I see in the ticket you referred to 
http://guide.macports.org/#reference.keywords which says any ".0" should be 
omitted.

So that means "Apache-2" means the same as "Apache-2.0". I had incorrectly 
thought "Apache-2" would mean "Apache-2.x".

And this means we have no syntax for indicating that a project would be under 
"Apache-2.x"?
