Swift is Open Source
Apple seems to think so, which is why all their GNU tools are frozen at their GPLv2 versions.

Apache2 is compatible with GNU GPLv3, though.

Compatible doesn't mean equivalent. GPLv2, AGPL, and LGPL are all compatible with GPLv3, but they don't have the same terms.

GPLv2+ (GPLv2 with the optional "or any later version" language) is compatible with GPLv3, but GPLv2 is not otherwise compatible with GPLv3 (e.g., Linux is under GPLv2, and not GPLv3 compatible.)
