I don't see how that matters at all. I don't hold the license, I hold the copyright. Basically, the way the license works (whether it's my name on the copyright, or Apache), you can use it however you like. The only thing you cannot do is claim that it's yours or otherwise not "mine" or eventually "Apache's". Don't let that stop you from using it.
