If the Freenet Project wants funding from some
organization, it's going to

Amnesty International:
http://www.amnesty.org/
http://www.amnestyusa.org/

Reality check: *No* company of any size is going to give money to Freenet.
They're going to say, Stay away from my ten-foot pole! Don't touch it!
Good reasons to stay away from Freenet:

I think the anarchistic nature of Freenet and the general association of
Freenet with kiddie porn make it way too tricky for any commercial

A better idea, would be to setup a web hosting provider. Offer people
unlimited storage and X amount of bandwidth for Y dollars per month. Then any
