In cc there is the creator of Freimap software that can answer you to
this question.

Yes, it's correct. Good if you're interested in studiyng routing protocols.
You can have more informations about OLSR and B.A.T.M.A.N here [0] [1]

Well, you can find an example of NameServiceDatasouce here [4] but you
need to have an OLSR network. In the new Freimap the configuration file
has been deleted and the software automatically detect the possibile
datasource (MySql, file or OLSR). I'd rather go in this direction...

Ciao!
