This sounds a bit fishy – how could Appcelerator even get an app pulled from the app store? DMCA?
e.g. Apache 2.0

He's using something else there (perhaps their cloud services who are probably free for free apps and costs money for paid apps).
Unless it was for a huge client that's gotten hundreds of thousands of downloads(which I don't think is the case), it seems like there's something else going on here.
It doesn't appear to be a scam, more a case of an over zealous sales department.
However, even if it is to do with displaying the Apache license as mentioned below, the behavior is pretty aggressive and financially orientated when a simple request could resolve it.
I will post a follow up comment when I know more, but for now the dev relations team has reached out to us...
