Either one of those, or it'll be one package and you choose the edition at install time, and it installs the appropriate features. (Or, if using a package manager, your distro will have the free one, and there will probably be a nonfree package available from the elastic site.)

Ah, that makes sense, thank you.

There are also cases where it's the exact same code base, but purchasing a license allows you to do things that you otherwise couldn't (for AGPL, that would mean the ability to run a modified version of the code without making your modifications available to customers).
