We are currently leaning towards a 501c3 with the network being a separate thing.
sudo mesh is now a California non-profit. We should apply for federal 501(c)(3) non-profit status soon. The network itself is separate from sudo mesh and is called People's Open Network. sudo mesh will take incoming donations and develop the sudowrt firmware for connecting to People's Open Network, as well as other mesh services. sudo mesh will run [[VPuN]] servers and try its best to get fast internet piped into the network. sudo mesh will sell cheap pre-flashed routers and organize volunteers to assist with rooftop node installations. People's Open Network has no legal entity (but we may trademark the name to protect it from mis-use) and anyone can become part of (connect to) the network as long as they agree to a simple Free Network License (yet to be defined but likely based on the [https://commons.thefnf.org/index.php/Main_Page Free Network Foundation's Network Common's License]).
