The Freenet Project a écrit:17th August, 2006 - John Gilmore donates US$15,000 to the Freenet Project [digg it]
John Gilmore, one of the founders of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Cypherpunks mailing list, and Cygnus Solutions, has donated US$15,000 to the Freenet Project, to support the ongoing development of the Freenet software.
This donation will ensure the continued employment of Freenet's full-time software developer, Matthew Toseland. Matthew has been working for Freenet full-time for the last 4 years, funded entirely by donations to the project.
In April 2006 the Freenet Project released the first alpha version of Freenet 0.7, a new approach to anonymous peer-to-peer adopting a "scalable darknet" architecture, designed to offer a new level of privacy and security for those using the software, while addressing a number of other long-standing issues with Freenet. This donation will support the project as it works towards a beta release of Freenet 0.7, improving the ease of use, speed, and security of the software.
The donation came from John Gilmore's donor advised fund at The San Francisco Foundation.
Je sais que c'est mal, mais je n'arrive pas à m'empêcher de sourire
