MaidSafe sounds intriguing, but the one thing that gives me pause is their licensing page (http://maidsafe.net/developers-licensing), which says that any non-GPL MaidSafe codebases requires 1% revenue fee. I still dont know if that means I can or can't create my own MaidSafe application from MaidSafe compatible libraries that I've written myself, without having to pay them. I also don't know if they have some sort of central enforcement mechanism to prevent such an Application from working on the MaidSafe network. I can only hope they start releasing example code and applications soon to clear up the confusion.

They've ditched the 1% bit.
It's still showing up on the URL that OP linked to.
