    None, from what limited amount I looked in to it. It even blocks the commercials normally applied to the low-level subs. This is possibly just a way to get in to the good graces of potential subscribers during the pandemic.

    Everyone's stuck inside with nothing to do, a free month right now seems like a great way to get people in and increase sub numbers.

    the closest thing to a catch is you have to register and the first month is free so I imagine some people will just forget the unsubsscribe and end up staying subbed. so pretty much the same catch as anything when any sub service offers a free month.
    as evilmark said, right now folks are stuck in side, and proably consuming content at massive speeds (apparently netflix has reduced the quality of their streams slightly due to badwidth overloads in europe for example) so by giving away a free month they win some positive PR and proably get a few new fans too.

    the news reports I've read are also crediting Patrick Stewart for this, so maybe he pushed for something to "help the fans out"

    That's what I've heard, that Patrick Stewart was behind the free month.

    given my read of the guy, he managed to sell it on the idea of being a taste of all acess to the execs, but his real motivation was to give the fans something special while we're all locked in doors.

    It requires a credit card in order to benefit. So I'll be fine skipping it. It's not free, it's free until you forget next month and you get billed for the first month. Just like Netflix did some time ago.
