The "real" Parse service is built to power hundreds of thousands of apps. The OSS Parse Server you run yourself would only need to power a single app. Two very different use cases.
Yes, but it seems that everyone thinks that this is the "Parse Server" being released. It's not, it's just an open source compatible API.
It's important because a lot of the powerful features of Parse aren't included in the new open source server (analytics, config, push). Saying that Parse is open-source seems to imply that these powerful features are available.
