I’d like to answer that with a quote from http://draketo.de/proj/freenet-funding/ MaidSafe seems to be a decentralized hosting solution with some scarcity built in to give fairness between publishers. It does not provide usage-dependent availability like Freenet and lacks darknet options. Freenet has a decaying store to provide freedom of the press by ensuring that content which users access stays available. MaidSafe gives limited storage which provides hosting for those which support the network. As such it does not equalize publishing among publishers. Due to that MaidSafe competes in the space TAHOE-LAFS and not in the space of Freenet. Like Freenet MaidSafe is free licensed but different from freenet it requires a contributor agreement. That agreement promises that the contributed code will always be available under free licenses. So its company can pull off a proprietarization of new code, but not of contributions. The contributor agreement effectively strips away the copyleft from the contributions but only for the MaidSafe developers. A currency isn’t the right tool for censorship resistant publishing, though bitcoin proponents have a hard time swallowing that argument… Best wishes, Arne
