Is 2.0 out?
"Covalent Technologies decides version
2.0 is ready for prime time and sets the
release of the long-awaited server software
ahead of software from the larger Apache
project itself."

IMHO, the quotes in that article suggest that Covalent is
making a specific effort in their public communications
to emphasize the difference between their product and
Apache, and difference between their product launch and
Apache 2.0 GA. The subtleties of this distinction are
often not obvious to people unfamiliar with open source
in general or Apache in particular, so I'm happy to see
a vendor taking the time to try to make sure that
journalists get an accurate picture of the relationship
between their product and the open-source project on
which it's based.

Covalent are not the Apache Software Foundation and don't speak for
them. They have a history of heavily modifying Apache, and then calling
it such, when it shouldn't be. So the short answer is no. They're out to
make a buck, not push a good product out.
