[OpenWireless Tech] ANYFI IS PROPRIETARY!

[Todd Freeman]

And then there is this gem, is it under the title "security model" to be ironic ?:
http://anyfi.net/documentation#i_security_model

Most jurisdictions have regulations mandating telecommunications providers to assist law enforcement in subscriber identification and lawful intercept. In the United States this is regulated in the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) of 1994. In the European Union the European Council Resolution of 17 January 1995 on the Lawful Interception of Telecommunications (Official Journal C 329) mandates similar measures.

Anyfi.net technology aligns well with such legislation because a radio front-end never terminates traffic locally in the radio front-end but instead sends it through a Wi-Fi over IP tunnel to a tunnel termination back-end where traceability and lawful intercept capabilities are already in place. This architecture also effectively prevents cases of mistaken identity [5] or wrongful liability for third party copyright infringement


or is that long hand for "Hey, not my problem" ?

I also just noticed, are you relying on WPA for your network security ?!

and this kids, is why we don't stick commodity hardware in the core of our network.

I just saw that anyfi is proprietary:

I am pretty annoyed that I have found this deeply hidden on your site after
wasting my time looking at your project. Thank you for your respect to the
free and open source software community which enables you to build things
like this!
