"paid version" needs defining. Any requirement that all distribution be <br>
free of charge would be invalid. Furthermore, any restriction on a <br>
commercial fork goes against the fundamental spirit of the Apache <br>
licence, as that is one of its key differences from the GPL.<br>

<br>
Again violates the spirit of the Apache licence, and lacks definitions.<br>
