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

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