[OpenDHT-Users] OpenDHT Questions

Hello there,

I've read through the OpenDHT FAQ and User's Guide but still have a few 
questions that hopefully someone on the list will answer for me.

I have been researching DHTs for use in a new application and OpenDHT 
would obviously cut out the majority of the hardwork, as was the 
reasoning behind creating it I assume. However, would it be wise to 
produce an application ontop of OpenDHT:

1. Is the service considered stable?
2. Is the service permanent or is it a temporary research project that 
could it be no more within a week, month. etc?
3. What storage restrictions are placed on specific applications and 
clients?
4. What are the implications of producing a commercial or 
semi-commercial (ie. free for personal use) application ontop of 
OpenDHT? Would that be tolerated and acceptable?

I hope these questions aren't considered rude or arrogant, I'm just 
trying to weigh my options at this point and don't want to start down 
the wrong road.

Thanks and all the best,

Dave.
