"OpenUI5" is the free version available under the Apache 2.0 Open Source license.
"SAPUI5" is the version that may only be used by SAP customers with a certain kind of license. (It's still free for them, but they have paid some other SAP product.)
The good news is: most importantly, the entire core of "OpenUI5" and "SAPUI5" (containing all central functionality) is identical. The most-commonly used control libraries, containing the vast majority of all existing controls, are identical. All of this can now be used for free, when using OpenUI5.
The difference is in some more exotic control libraries which have not (or not yet) been put under an Open Source license. There are several reasons, including legal issues, organizational clarifications (developed in different parts of SAP) - and after all SAP is still a company which has to pay its employees (thanks! ;-)), so it may choose not to give everything away for free. You find the same pattern with other Open Source libraries and products...
But anyway, the vast majority of all things UI5, including all things which have been developed close to the core of it are free. And there are no paid extensions. There is no intention to make any money with UI5.
This was the technical perspective. Beyond that, there is a difference regarding support: for SAP customers with that certain sort of license the "commercial version" SAPUI5 comes with support agreements, so SAP guarantees bug fixing (don't ask me for the terms in detail...). These support guarantees are naturally not coming with the completely free Open Source version of UI5. But still, it is not a fork or so: OpenUI5 also gets the bug fixes done for SAPUI5. It's the same thing, just a subset. A big one.
