The Community Editions have come with a specific distribution on them and with the back cover branded with that distribution's art. And supposedly $10/phone would go to those developers.
After the last Community Edition, they will sell phones without back cover branding—and maybe without an OS pre-installed, but I don't know. For that matter, maybe they'll stop selling in batches and requiring pre-orders, and people will be able to order and have them shipped right away, but AFAIK no one has said yet. (And they will sell distribution-branded back covers separately.)
