nicely done! I like the easy overview on creating accounts and making transfers.

i am wondering, when everything is free and open-source here, how is the business model?

The answer lies at the end of the page:

> premiumpool is our commercially supported pool. Restrictions and requirements for operating a consensus node are more stringent and claims made by ledgers are audited. For more information, please Get in Touch

Thanks a lot!

As the other commenter noted, our only plan to directly monetise the project is via a commercially supported premium consensus pool. However, long term we do plan to set up a commercial entity to build on top of hyperledger (in the same way that anyone could) to offer various related services. This are all in far too early stages to share just yet though, I'm afraid!
