You're missing the aim of the project entirely. We will make FREEDOMbox 
to enable more private, secure networking for persons. Have you watched 
Moglen's talk[1]? It's not about making a cheap server and selling it to 
companies. If it were, we'd probably be non-free and provide services 
like UbuntuOne. We won't.

We are settled on distributed storage. Businesses? Let them take care of 
themselves. Let them install their own cloud clients if they want to, or 
hire someone that'll do that for them. We've got more important things 
to do.
