I don't think a Free Software version of what we now call the cloud has to slice the responsibilities the same way.
(Reductio ad absurdium) GNU hackers creating an AWS clone? Not gonna happen.
I have paid close attention to conversations that Ed Snowden brought up around his attempts to convince Glen Greenwald to use and trust PGP.
The Free Software movement will someday have an improvement on PGP. When average ordinary people such as Glen Greenwald can use it, that part is done. Part of what?
And... let's argue about what to call it!
Free Cloud? Nah, too conformist.
GNU's Non-Cloud? The acronym GNC is already taken and besides, it's unpronounceable.
