They illegally removed the license file and attributions, it appears. (I've asked the Apache legal team to double check in case I missed something.)

Since I'm an Apache copyright holder, along with asking them to fix some specific brokenness from files they removed, I went ahead and revoked their license to distribute Apache and therefore their Plesk setup package, which includes Apache. Who wants to bet that shit gets fixed first thing in the morning?
I'm learning a bit more day by day.

So you worked with Apache and Plesk, being distibuted by Parallels, is being illegally distributed?

The last server I was on, which I switched because they purchased an entire network of shit IP's, was giving Plesk control panel for free with unlimited domains.
