Yeah, you are right. We clearly live in a world where "whatever license" means "whatever FOSS licence". If only the rest of the world thought that way too...

Updating the press release would also be a good idea ("...to use whatever free software license..."). I also would have assumed it meant that proprietary licences would be accepted. Since Google distributes proprietary software, the mention of "Google-hosted" doesn't clarify the licence situation.
Thanks for dropping by with the good news. I'm relieved to hear Apache won't be delivering proprietary software.
