      @gc Filecoin and IPFS are by Protocol Labs, a VC-funded startup. All the IPFS code is FOSS, so you can take it and create a separate network that doesn't interact/federate with the capitalist network.

      The IPFS code (written largely Go and Javascript) is a lot more portable and easier to understand and modify than GNUNet, which is written in C++ and is mostly for Linux/UNIX only.

         The feature set of GNUNet and IPFS does not map features one-to-one, GNUNet is more oriented towards resource sharing, IPFS is more oriented towards document persistence.

         So freedom, in that regard, if it's not really read/write in the real world and actually-existing networks, it's a relative matter.
