<P><FONT SIZE=2>If in the future this takes off and becomes very popular around</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Melbourne, or perhaps even further than that...</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Would it be possible for one/a few people, either on this list now or to</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>join up in the future to legally/through hardware gain control of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>important points of the WAN and act like an ISP or something new, taking</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>away the free nature of the WAN?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Is there any way that the WAN can be protected, like the GNU GPL</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>license, to ensure that it is always free to those with the hardware?</FONT>
