Yes, all free! Use as much QGIS as you like!
However, if you are happy QGIS users and your organization is relying on
the software, consider becoming a sustaining member. That way you can
support the project, software development, bug fixing, upgrades and so on.

No necessity, but very much appreciated!
Kind regards and enjoy using QGIS,
Raymond

Essentially it means you can install and use QGIS anywhere you want for
whatever the cost of downloading it might be (usually free). You can be
an individual, government agency, commercial business, etc., that
doesn't matter.
Note that if you do change the source code to provide some functionality
that you require, the licence requires you to make your enhancements
available under the same licence.
