What kind of question is that? What do you expect? Special flags so
Freenet will shut down if run on a non-Intel platform? Routing that
sends all Freenet data to Intel's intellectual property lawyers so
that they can vet it before it's available to the general public?
Jeez louise, man. Freenet is Free Software. You can check for yourself
that there's not any quid pro quo code added into Freenet. If you find
some, rip it out and fork a distro.
You should also note that Ian's been very good about keeping Uprizer
and the Freenet Project as very, very separate entities. If you have a
question about the terms of Intel's investment in Uprizer, I'd suggest
you call or email them. I'd be greatly surprised if they wanted to
reveal their contractual obligations to you, a third party, but you're
welcome to try.
