GNU Free Call
GNU Free Call
The GNU Free Call project has announced its
existence. "Our goal is to make GNU Free Call ubiquitous in a
manner and level of usability similar to Skype, that is, usable on all
platforms, and directly by the general public for all manner of secure
communication between known and anonymous parties, but without requiring a
central service provider to register with, without using insecure source
secret binary protocols that may have back-doors, and without having
network control points of any kind that can be exploited or abused by
external parties. By doing so as a self organizing meshed calling network,
we further eliminate potential service control points such as through
explicit routing peers even if networks are isolated in civil
emergencies.
