Edition vs Engine Edition

Serverproperty has two parameters that seem closely defined:
"Engine Edition" and "Edition". What is the difference between them? Is
there any detailed documentation on the difference, and the consequences
therefrom?
I have a server where Edition="Developer Edition", and EngineEdition =
Enterprise.

Think of the Edition as the license you pay for and the Engine Edition to be
the functionality you get. In your case, you get Enterprise Edition
functionality for the low price of a Developer Edition.
