You most probably mean the original Artistic License (used by Perl in
dual license with GPL 1 or later) [0][1].  The Apache 1.0 license is
free according to both FSF and DFSG [2][3].

There was some software in Lenny main under the original Artistic
License, I haven't found any in Squeeze checking for some packages
listed in the gNewSense Metad blacklist (some was relicensed to the
Clarified Artistic License).
