where did you look? Just download
<http://www.day.com/content/dam/day/downloads/jcr-ri-1.0.zip>. The link
can be found at the page mentioned above. The file ships the text of the
Apache-2.0 license in the file licenses/day-ri-license.txt. There is an
additional restriction regarding derivative work that sounds harmless to me:

  (1) Cause the Derivative Work to fully implement the
      Specification(s), or later revisions of the Specification(s)
      that are acknowledged by the Specification Lead as
      successors to the Specification(s), without modifying,
      subsetting, supersetting, or otherwise extending the
      Restricted Name Space or including any public or protected
      packages, classes, Java interfaces, fields, or methods
      within the Restricted Name Space other than those
      required/authorized by the Specification(s) being
      implemented, and pass the TCK for such Specification(s); or

  (2) Make no claims that the Derivative Work complies with the
      Specification(s) and remove any such claims from the
      Derivative Work that originated with the Work.

We can simply choose (2).

Cheers,
Torsten
