I had no idea that OpenBSD didn't accept Apache 2 code https://www.openbsd.org/policy.html https://www.openbsd.org/policy.html

  They maintained apache 1.x in base for a long time. For a small number of releases they switched to nginx and then i think they wrote their own.

    Parent is referring to the Apache 2 license, not version 2 of the Apache HTTPD server.

      I think that’s what your parent is saying too. The last non-Apache-2-licensed version of the Apache HTTP server was version 1.3.x, and because the OpenBSD project did not accept the Apache 2 license, they forked the Apache HTTP server’s 1.3.x code base.

      It's not coincidental. It was early in the Apache 2.0 lifecycle that the Apache License 2.0 came about (google says 2.0.49). OpenBSD's continued maintenance of a 1.x fork from 2004-2011 or so was mainly about licensing.
