Dear Moovida 2.0 developers,

Question 5 of the FAQ and its corresponding answer are quite unclear to me.

> Will the Diesel Engine become open source instead of being free?
> The Diesel Engine we use is proprietary, which is why it will not
> be available as open source.

What's the meaning of "free" in this context? My interpretation of this
entry is:

Q: "Will this proprietary engine become open source?"
A: "It won't be open source because it is proprietary."

I fail to see the explanation here. Could you clarify or rephrase the entry?

On the other hand, if I remember correctly my time at Fluendo Embedded,
Moovida's CEO explained that the company had acquired the rights to the
Diesel engine and would therefore work to open-source it, which sounded
like a fantastic gift to the community. I understand this won't happen,
why such a turnaround?

Cheers,

Olivier
