Why download it from couchbase when you have it on apache?

hey i saw in part 3 of this series that there was a front end for mvccouch but he was using couchbase and not iriscouch. i am currently working on iriscouch so wondering if the front end can be made with that and how since part 3 doesnt explain how he made the front end

At the time of this video, CouchBase was a provider of CouchDB, but now, in 2013, that's no longer true. CouchBase offers a similar product, but it's not CouchDB. For CouchDB downloads go to the Apache website for CouchDB, at couchdb.apache.org.
