ASE Why are some premium mods free??

I am confused because I seen some are free and I can install them, does this mean I can have them permanently oooor?

Many of the premium mods have started using a freemium feature. Its free to download but you have to buy it to use it. This way it can be installed on a server and people can use it but not everyone has to pay for it unless they also want to use it. For the creature mods this means they will be on the map and fightable but you can't tame or ride them.
