I believe it is distributed under the GPL, since all the code is in the CVS etc. and other clients that use Limewire as a base (like Acquisition on OS X) have the pro features. Frankly a lot of the value is in providing compiled binaries, especially for platforms where people are unused to that sort of thing (like Windows) and of course support, which you're only going to get if you bought the thing from them.
