Hi Sarah All software products of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) including Apache FOP are open source software products which means they are no license fees. You are free to download and use the software if you read and agree to the license associated with the software which for all software packages here at the Apache Software Foundation is currently the Apache License 2.0 (ALv2) found here: http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html
In short, the ALv2 allows commercial use at no charge. However, donations to the ASF are appreciated to keep the infrastructure running. There are no maintenance options as such with open source software. You can get free support via mailing lists. Some developers or companies may provide additional services (professional support). You can also sponsor projects (or rather individuals working on projects) to support the further development of the software. Please don't use FOP 0.20.3. This is an ancient version. Please use FOP 0.20.5 (latest stable release) or FOP 0.92beta (latest release, despite the beta tag, the software is very stable and useful). FOP 0.93 will be available soon. I hope these infos will help you. If there's anything else you need to know, just ask.
