Is this framework available for free forever?

I love it! Amazing job you guys did! I was wondering if we commit to using this framework for building apps which are primarily distributed in SaaS model or just pure apps for purchase, you guys plan to start charging for the usage? I see that you are VC funded, and somehow revenue model has to be built into it, right? I was wondering if that revenue model is to charge for framework usage or charge for add-on services?

Before we make the decision to use the framework, I wanted to make sure that we understand how it evolves in the future.

Thanks in advance,

Thanks
