Q:

OpenBSD Apache version 1.3.29?

I recently installed OpenBSD and went to check the version of Apache HTTPD and when I run httpd -v it tells me the version is Apache/1.3.29 (Unix). Surely this can't be right? I am using the latest version of OpenBSD (5.3), why is Apache SO out of date for an OS that is supposed to be security based?

A:

Officially it's a licencing issue 
To quote:

Source code published under version 2 of the Apache license cannot be
  included into OpenBSD. As a consequence, OpenBSD now maintains its own
  version of Apache based on version 1.3.29. The OpenBSD version
  includes many enhancements and bugfixes.

But there appears to be more going on below the surface. Basically the OpenBSD decided to no longer update apache:
