That's an older version of the pride flag. There have been a few designs. The rainbow top to bottom one is still very popular. This website describes some of the different flags.

I read that the progress pride flag is copyrighted and some people (or a single person) may be profiting from it.

Several sources seemed coherent with this. That's why I try to keep away from it. And also it seems be mostly used in USA anyway, I haven't seen it much around Europe.

The pride flag was envisioned and flown for the first time in San Francisco. For better or worse, most of global queer culture is us centric.

Most of the flags are also copyrighted or copylefted, to some degree or another. It's a jumbled mess. But in general no one is profiting unless you are literally buying a physical flag, as all of them fall into fair use or can be freely licensed for use in commercial products.
