What are the Limitations of Deploying to Meteor.com?

What are the limitations of deploying my application to meteor.com (aka, what is the catch?) I assume there must be something about it that would keep me from running something like Facebook or StackOverflow off of it.

Examples of what the limitations might be:

I found this thread from 2012 that suggests there are no limitations: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/meteor-talk/HqDvR1sF3-4/YEqrXpDqVGcJ

Is the only limitation still just that I have no guarantee of service and what they have is what I get? If that's the case, what do they have powering the service, and what kind of load is it under?

Are there any legal things I should keep in mind while doing this, IE, is Meteor copyleft or am I forbidden from making money via whatever I host there (ads or otherwise)?

Meteor free hosting is now dead as per this announcement https://forums.meteor.com/t/meteor-com-free-hosting-ends-march-25-2016/19308

Now they recommend galaxy for hosting.

If looking for free then heroku is recommended with mongolabs for mongodb.

It's definitely only for testing and prototyping. Consider this screen when a user visits a meteor.com hosted app that hasn't been loaded in a while.

The docs says:

We provide this as a free service so you can try Meteor.

So you should only deploy apps to meteor.com that you want to test. They're working on an infrastructure called Galaxy that you'll be able to use to deploy your apps for real, but it will cost money.
