"I saw that... do not understand license...looks like sales trial...assume"

Well, actually you will get a clear license text when running the
installer. It seems you get a license[1] valid until termination by either
- you with a 20 day notice period
- by Pathscale if you're in breach of contract.
No trial.

For fun(!?) I also skimmed the PDF license agreeement on their site [2]
which seemed very similar (may be the same) to the license given by the
installer.

So I'm glad they generously offer this.


[1]
5.1.Term.  This License will take effect as of the Effective date, and
will remain in effect until terminated (i) by Customer with or without
cause, upon twenty (20) days written notice to Pathscale, or (ii) by
Pathscale upon written notice to Customer in the event Customer is in
material breach of this License and will have failed to cure such breach
within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice thereof from Pathscale.
