What is the difference between 'Calibra' and 'Libra'?

This article uses them interchangably, and does not seem to distinct between the two.

Edit: Looking more closely --

"That means that even though Facebook might not know how much money is in someone’s Calibra wallet or their other transactions [...]"

It seems that Calibra is the name of the 'wallet', and Libra is the name of the 'coin' itself.

Calibra = Facebook's subsidiary Libra wallet company

Libra = currency itself

There's also this site: https://calibra.com/

They seem to have hired their marketing people from the USB Forum.

I think Firefox's Facebook container causes this
