The short answer is that the licenses that each organization uses allows that to happen. The longer answer is that free qua libre has implications that free qua open does not have. Implications that the Apache Foundation is apparently not willing to accept. Likewise, free qua open has implications that free qua libre does not have. Implications that the Document Foundation is apparently not willing to accept. Whether or not those organizations will adopt a license other than they currently use, depends upon how well somebody can convince the organization, in its entirety, to accept the limitations of the new license, and its attendant vices, forgoing the virtues of the license that it currently uses. FWIW, I think that the discussion of the vices, and virtues of the respective licenses belongs in a different place.
