So says the FSF, but the ASF says otherwise. Only a judge can tell
for sure. (Both agree that Apache 2.0 and GPL 3.0 are compatible.)
In any case, I remind posters that the OP wanted a definition of
"Apache-style license". If the answer is "Only the Apache license and
nothing else is an Apache-style license," the question is undermined.
