I'd think seriously about someone else. The current situation with ORBS
is being actively discussed on the vger.kernel.org list. Seems to be a
bit of difference of opinion. See the snippet below from a message
quoting Alan Cox.

What are you smoking?
The DNS requests are happening against his express wishes, so if
anything,
the *requests* are computer misuse. Alan's NS entries pointing people
there definitely are.
It's not Ronald who's telling people his server is authoritative; in
fact,
he's doing just the opposite, loudly.

I don't. He's talking about technical changes, not about legal reasons.

How about starting a true free project, with charter and/or licensing
that
makes it impossible to go non-free? Something that's controlled by more
than one person, and which is explicit about what exactly the rules
are,
and which part of those rules are responsible for particular entry.
