Hi, As an Apache Maven team member I confirm what Rich wrote. Apache Maven team don't charge users especially in monthly payout.
You should only use software from oficial Apache distribution, like for Maven: https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi So now you can try to complain about payments in your bank. You can report the matter of pretending - impersonating the Apache Software Foundation by other organizations - to the Apache legal department https://www.apache.org/legal/ https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/LEGAL/ czw., 8 lut 2024 o 16:45 Rich Bowen <rbo...@rcbowen.com> napisał(a): > Apache Maven is free software, and, as such, we have no record of who has > downloaded it, or where they are running it, or for what purpose. > > The Apache Software Foundation does not operate an Apache Maven hosted > service (or any other for-pay hosted services), and these charges could not > originate either with the Apache Maven project itself, or the Foundation as > a whole.
