Does anyone know what the endgame for this software is? Does Nanobox plan to offer a more premium service in addition to the basic functionalities?

We hope to keep the nanobox desktop tool free and open source. We plan on offering a "cloud" version of the tool (https://nanobox.io/cloud/) that will use nanobox desktop to help streamline deploying production code to a provider of your choice.
