Here's clause 3 of apache's license.

 * 3. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of this
 *    software must display the following acknowledgment:
 *    "This product includes software developed by the Apache Group
 *    for use in the Apache HTTP server project (http://www.apache.org/)."

I don't have a clue where you get "only applies to end-user docs."

More generally, I don't have a clue what your point is.
