The 'real' difference? What do you mean?

The website is pretty clear on this topic, as are the multitude of
previous threads in the mailing list archives where we've talked about this.

Asterisk Business Edition is a snapshot of the development tree, with
some features removed and license control added. It's been tested,
documented and comes with installation and technical support. It does
not contain any features or bug fixes that are not in the open source
version.

I don't think Asterisk Business Edition comes with source code.

So what are they planning on doing with the Google Summer of Code results?

Did they really sign up as a mentor just to get the 500 bucks?
