What are the limitations for using the product with an Apache 2.0 license?
Hello.
What are the restrictions if I use someone else's code/library or SDK in the development of my software product, which is supplied by the authors under the Apache 2.0 license? And in particular - do I have the right to close my source codes from the public, as well as distribute my software product for a fee? Thanks

Like any other free software license, the Apache license gives the user the right to use the software for any purpose, freely redistribute, modify, and redistribute modified copies, with the exception of the name[Note. 2].
This license does not stipulate that the license to distribute the software is unchanged, and does not even insist on maintaining its free and open status. The only condition imposed by the Apache license is that the recipient be informed that the source code has been used. Thus, in contrast to copyleft licenses, the recipient of the modified version does not necessarily get all the rights originally granted by the Apache license.
When distributing software, you must place the following files in the root directory:
LICENSE - a file containing a copy of the Apache license text;
NOTICE is a text file listing all libraries licensed under the Apache license along with the names of their creators.
All original copyright or patent information must be preserved in each licensed file, and information about the changes made must be added to each modified file.
