Most corporate owned devices are managed with some kind of tool (for restricting what users can do, pushing out software and updates, etc). These tools are called Mobile Device Management (MDM).
The developer is detecting the presence of MDM tools and using that to present a splash page to the user about the licensing requirements etc.
Some educational institutes use MDM to manage students, even so far as to require it be installed on personal owned devices. The developer has been working with edu users to except them.
The what now?
The author develops a tiling window manager for Windows. It comes with a dual license - free for personal use etc., paid for corporate devices.
I have no opinion on this because I’ve been using only Linux for over a decade, just wanted to clarify the term.
