Yes, and not to forget that Babylon 5: I've Found Her (IFH) is based on same engine. First IFH release will be released soon after HomePlanet is available in the shelves.
To answer your question how it is possible for freeware game to use an engine of commercial game?
-Because one or few devs
(can't remember how many...) are same for both games. And that is also reason why IFH will never have multiplayer.

A fact: HomePlanet will be missing some neat features that will be in IFH and vice versa.
