I don't think moovida 2.0 is open source any more. The web site only
offdes a download for Windows (.exe) and the FAQ says (about what I
guess is the rendering part):

http://www.moovida.com/faq/#will-the-diesel-engine-become-open-source
| The Diesel Engine we use is proprietary, which is why it will not be
| available as open source.

I don't think moovia 2.0 has anything to do with 1.0 (except the name).

This raises the question whether 1.0 is going anywhere and whether it is
a good idea to ship it in squeeze.

(BTW I'm not the maintainer of moovida, just a (now former) user)
