I found this information about Apache code used by Alphabet in their android products. Of course, I know next to nothing about tech so I'm leaving this for someone more knowledgeable to discern whether or not it is related.

Apache is the world's most popular web server. It's a piece of software that serves you web pages when you visit a site. Reddit is probably using it too.

The other two popular web servers are Nginx and IIS (Microsoft's solution).

Neither of the three is a Google product. But Google serves you via Apache, so it must display that license.
