Good catch; there's a suspicious dearth of information about how this will be licensed when finally released. Curious to see how they respond on that thread. Anyway, its frontend has the right approach-- encryption by default, no assumption that "LAN" means "secure", and scales using proven technology that doesn't try to reinvent the wheel. That's an approach that should be used in FBX. -Jonathan > > _______________________________________________ > Freedombox-discuss mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss > _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
