I did not answer before, because I did not consider it my place to answer. Today I learned that this was interpreted as agreement. It was not agreement. I do not think that Freenet Project Inc. can afford to go into debt. And from what I saw in 15 minutes of googling, Ian might be liable for negligency for agreeing to this. That would mean that he would be personally liable for the debt of FPI. Given that we cannot predict donations this is something I would not do. Knowing that the first X months of donations would go towards paying debt could also be a pretty strong deterrent for potential donors. Weeks ago I sent you a link to a funding agency which I deem most likely to be able to fund your work. They offer 30k for a year, which is roughly what you’re billing right now (as far as I know). I don’t have that link anymore, and no time right now to dig through the IRC history. If you don’t have it anymore, ask me for it on tuesday evening. I’d like to be friendly here, but in matters of “we are broke” and “will we promise stuff we don’t have?”, making friendly promises would be dishonest. And getting Ian in legal trouble is a no-go. Best wishes, Arne
