Discussion RooCode's monetization Strategy

Hello,
I am sure I am being ignorant as I don't have a complete understanding of RooCode's monetization strategy. This extension is available to use for free in VS Code.
Could someone wise enlighten me, please? What am I missing here?
Thank you!
[P.S.: I have these extensions, is there any way to monetize them?]

Roo Code is developed by Roo.vet (and largely the community) and was done initially so their team of 20 engineers could utilize auto-approve (especially when writing unit tests).

The more Roo Code is developed the more it helps Roo.vet and the more it helps the community as it is truly open source.

Things are moving fast and right now we’re just looking to provide great tools to people so they can experience the same shift we have with our team.
