I agree it is the same old software. The point is that they are changing
the license. Note the text from the download window:
"Note: The current license is for Beta testing purposes only. It does not
include terms, such as free redistribution and embedding (read the FAQ),
that will be available in the production release."
To me this means they are not yet telling what the final *free to
distribute* license says until the software comes out of beta.
