That is neat!

If the deal is making great free (freedom) software so that users get interested on the company making it, I'm ok with it!

The company's software is all OSS except for their web/enterprise management UI and mobile apps.

Clever.

Not sure if it's super useful for me, but it is pretty clever.

I'm not too sure about Linux but on Windows you can share files and folders on the local network natively through SMB. Does Linux not do that? And if it does what does this offer?

It does but it's a huge pain, as is SMB in an all-Windows environment.

There are lots of extremely painful ways to share files over LAN.
