I'm sorry, but it is an undeniable fact that the Apache license imposes
restrictions that neither the BSD nor MIT licenses do, but *not* vice
versa; hence, the Apache license is more restrictive - or to put it
another way, the set of permissions granted by the Apache license is a
strict subset of the set of permissions granted by the BSD or MIT
license.

(by "BSD license", I mean "(New|Simplified) BSD license")

BTW, parts of the Apache license are actually not license grants or
conditions, but terms of service for the Apache mailing lists, bug
repository etc.
