I have some sympathy for the OpenBSD developers, who when the Apache 2 licence was first announced, decided it was too complicated to understand (among other problems) and they wouldn't allow it.

Sympathy, yes, but.. It's not THAT complicated. While there are more words than in a permissive BSD/MIT style license, it also uses those words to clarify what exactly the license conditions mean. AFAICS many organizations large and small with presumably competent legal advice have chosen Apache 2.0 as the go-to permissive license, suggesting that there's no hidden mine lurking in the text.
