Abstract
Following the popular successes of the free software Linux and the free
content of Wikipedia and the CreativeCommons project, "free networks"
are gaining in popularity. Using affordable hardware and the unlicensed
part of the frequency spectrum, single nodes are connected into ever
larger networks. In small and medium-sized regions free networks are
constructed that resemble in many ways the "original" Internet as it was
created. As much as the motivations of the individual players are of interest, so
is the economic and legal context in which they act. Starting from the
explicitly formulated foundations of free networks, the professed
ambition of many initiatives to form a democratic network free of
censorship will be addressed. Likewise discussed will be the
interrelation with similar free projects.
