Anyone can download and use Power BI Desktop for free (including commercial organisations).  Yes you need a licence (all software has a licence) but there is no charge.  When you install it, you agree to the licence.

 

when you install it, read the licence then.

I will not give you bad advice, even if you unknowingly ask for it.
