Apache 2 License vs OSI definition

[Johannes Buchner]

Hi!

I am confused atm by the following question:

OSI definition states in (2):
  "The program must include source code, and must allow distribution in
source code as well as compiled form. Where some form of a product is
not distributed with source code, there must be a well-publicized means
of obtaining the source code ..."

On the other hand, the Apache 2 license states nothing in this regard,
and one can find in the FAQ [0]:
  "It does not require you to:
    * include the source of the Apache software itself, or of any
modifications you may have made to it, in any redistribution you may
assemble that includes it"

I realise that Apache 2 is not a viral license, but if you do not have
to give away your modified source code or the original source code,
/ever/, how can it be OSI-certified?

I am sorry if this is covered in a previous question or FAQ.

Best regards,
Johannes
