We don't include Apache 2 in our licencing policy because it's
incompatible with GPL 2.  And there's still code which is GPL 2 only
plus it's good to minimise when code is under a licence which
effectively can't be used.

It would need a change to the licence policy.

You could dual licence as GPL 3 + Apache, both of which have
termination clauses for patent abuse.
