The problem with Apache 2 is it might not be completely clear how this works with a Saas product. Of course if you are distributing binaries or source to customers then you are going to run into issues with Apache Licensing. But if you are just running code on your servers then its not so straight forward. However, I guess its likely they were distributing javascript code so that could be a problem for them. Also, I guess regardless of the licensing issues not being honest with your customers when you are a compliance company is not going to be great for business.
