Interesting concept. Curious to see where it goes.

“A small device the size of a cellphone charger, running on a low-power
chip. You plug it into the wall and forget about it.
Put free software into the little plug server in the wall, and you would

The inventor, Eben Moglen, runs the Software Freedom Law Center. At 14 he
was programming for the Scientific Time Sharing Corporation and he was a
lawyer for the FSF too.

There's also a Kickstarter Project for anyone interested in help funding it.
