Let me translate:
Developers want to develop, can't handle business side of the project.

Example:
Some dude made digg.com >>> couldn't do promotions >>> asked some guy named Kevin Rose who had fans because of TechTV to do the promotion >>> Digg became famous.
No one remembers the name of that friend of Kevin who actually came up with it and build it. But digg would never have been the success it is now without mr. Rose.

The pligg team can't do both developing and marketing, so they let some business aware people do that, so they can focus on the developing.

If the buying partner turns out to be some evil party, i've just got three words to say: joomla vs. mambo

So if buying party just likes to cash and not push this OS project forward, we'll register www.fslsdkjvnbvnsrtnkasjhgsjnbjnak.com and develop pligg further under that name. (guess fslsdkjvnbvnsrtnkasjhgsjnbjnak isn't a very good name though, but you get my point )
