I am developing an app with Cordova, the app can be downloaded free of charge, only some internal features will have some cost.
I needed to use this plugin https://github.com/mapsplugin/cordova-plugin-googlemaps to manipulate googlemaps, which is under the Apache v2.0 license.
What you need to do to use this plugin with this license?

The Apache 2.0 license is in the category of permissive licenses, so you can commercially use a code under this license, but must comply with some requirements.
Basically, this image from the site choose pliers.com.br summarizes what is required, permitted, and prohibited:

And here you will find the Apache v2 license in full (in English) and other important details.

Apache 2.0 is a license that allows modifications and commerce, but you have to credit the guy who created the library.
