The Adaptive Public License was approved in 2005, while OSD #10 was
added long before.  I don't know exactly when, but it wasn't 2004 as
stated at http://opensource.org/history (this should be corrected).  It
was already there by December 2002
(http://web.archive.org/web/20021204100529/www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php)
as you pointed out earlier.

Attribution Assurance License, which the attribution clause of APL is
based on, was approved before OSD #10.
