Not. 

Yes freenet has people from all over the world..  Its still just the
Fleanet (sm).  Hell...  even a monstor like Netcom.com is just a site on
the net in comparison to the whole of the net.

Oh cummon... puh-lease... 

Off the top of my head... some things CWRU does for the community
WRT Freenet...

- Maintains CFN. 

- Has a helpdesk to answer questions.

- Pays people to come in and fix problems off hours. 

- Pays programmers to add asked for features. 

- Works to upgrade machines when possible.

- Responds to complaints from the community (I know... people use to 
	complain about me ;-)

- etc etc etc...
