It seems like now the project is dead, and honestly I don't really see how you could commercialize it. It seems like the sort of way this system could be successful is by having a grid of volunteers who run it collaboratively, and maybe if its use became widespread enough you might see DNS registrars and hosts become interested in it and only then would you have a commercial angle. So I guess the real question is: is this the end of CoDoNs? -- Tony Arcieri
