Code: Free, under GPL if you want though I wouldn't
advise it as this restricts commercial use (try LGPL),
to attract new developers (they will want example
source code to play with). It's only worth licensing
full solutions.
Content: Is this under our control?
Protocols: If it's not free and standardised it has no
chance of being adopted

Ah but if the GNU name is under the GPL then by doing
this you will have to release the KENDRA name under
the same license as a derivative work...

How about: Knowledge E-rena for the Networked Digital
Rights Age (ok, bit naff)

Hmmm, that is not a good sign. You should set a
roadmap with milestones and try and work towards
achieving each one. Or am I missing the spirit of
things?

Listeners? Do we have a KENDRA radio station yet? (as
ever, content is the bummer. Installing a copy of
Shoutcast takes 5 mins)
