For the same reason, I suspect, that Apple is hosting a page of Mac Applications, and heavily-pushes third-party applications in it's retail stores, and the same reason that developers around the world are excited that the iPhone will have a built-in appstore. Distribution matters. Users don't buy/install a product because of it's inherent properties, they install it because it solves a need. Freenet/Fproxy alone don't solve very many people's need, but Thaw, Freemail, etc are services that people find useful. > Ian. > >
