Why do some courses have a "Pro" label on them?

Just wondering what this means, if there is some restrictuon on those videos / courses...

One rather odd thing is that that clicking on the "Pro" oval will open my profile page... There's nothing intuitive or obvious about that.

Shouldn't there be something in help about this, or at a minimum some tooltip to even tell us what "Pro" is short for? I assume it's short for "Professional", but who knows?

There are different membership levels. Any course marked "Pro" is only available to students with a "Pro" level subscription (or above). You'll also see "Techdegree" ovals for items available only to that subscription level.

It probably links to the profile page because you should be able to see and/or change your subscription level from there.
