Sure, but you can't make up your own definition of the Apache 2.0 license, which was the point of the original comment (and the PR in question).

Yes you can:

"You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and may provide additional or different license terms and conditions for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use, reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with the conditions stated in this License."

Sure, but that doesn't mean he can redefine terms. He can't both change the license and claim it's compliant with that license. That contradiction exists regardless of his ownership of the project.

I have updated the wording. It was and will be the same Apache 2 license.

Well its not his license.

Is the license itself copyrighted? If so for how long?

Apache is trademarked
