yeah, you have to sign a support contract. It works as a extension to 
vanilla-pg-11, but it's not open source.

 Sure, you have to pay for a support contract, and this isn't for free,
 but you will get a first-class support for BDR. If you really needs a
 worldwide distributed multi-master solution you should be able to buy that.
