Caddy is licensed under the Apache license, which allows for commercial use. No one is infringing by not paying for the commercial version.

Well, we're in 2017 (read the thread I posted above), and in that year Caddy was distributing[0] the binary as licensed product. Apache licence applied to its source-code only (e.g. when you build the server from source - which only few people did).

Thanks for the background. I didn't know it used to be like that. It's a funky licensing scheme if I ever saw one.
