Editions
Two editions. The Community Edition covers single firewalls and HA clusters, the Enterprise Edition adds central managers.
Community Edition
The public repository is the Community Edition, and it is complete for what it covers: single firewalls and HA clusters, no rule-count caps, no time limit, no feature nagging. Service providers may use it in client projects free of charge.
Enterprise Edition
The Enterprise Edition adds central managers (Panorama, FortiManager, Check Point MDS), with vendor cloud managers on the roadmap. It is commercial and not part of the public repository.
It's planned to become available with version 1.0. Questions about it are welcome on the contact page.
