The Apache license, like most permissive licenses, does not actually
grant you access to the source code: it presumes that you already have it.
It is possible to license a random blob of binary bits under the Apache
License, but the result is not Open Source, as it contravenes OSD #2.

I am not a lawyer; this is not legal advice, but it is not the
unauthorized practice of law, either.
