The only other Freenet I know is (was?) a small ISP and Freemail provider in Germany. I couldn't care less about the name clash.

- ArneBab 2y agoFreenet AG is now a pretty big mobile phone provider since it bought the biggest carrier-independent mobile phone contract provider. Revenue about 2.5 billion Euro. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freenet_AG https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freenet_AG
- summm 2y agoI found that forced namegrab by the original autor quite rude in the beginning, but now I made peace with that and like the name hyphanet even more. That whole drama backfired for him: First, there will be always this discussion. Second, the term Freenet is quite unusable in search engines, whereas hyphanet is nice and unique to find in search engines.
- ArneBab 2y agoYes, Hyphanet is considerably safer and does not compete with a multi-billion Euro corporation about brand rights.
