Freedom Websecure is a different protocol set from Freedom.net. Websecure runs on linux, see http://websecure4linux.sourceforge.net/ The Freedom.net code is available for non-commercial use, see http://slashdot.org/articles/02/02/16/0320238.shtml?tid=158 or the shmoo group cvs server, http://cvs.shmoo.com/view/projects/freedom-server/ The problem with running Napster over Freedom was bandwidth costs. Users may be more willing to pay today, given the clear risk of paying $10,000 or more in fines. I'm sure that ZKS would be happy to sell someone a commercial use license.
