I've read the terms of service,
they are giving you a service for free ,
and they won't let you forget it..
According to the TOS (http://www.opendomain.org/terms/) :
6. "The domain must be actively marketed and significantly used"
What is that supposed to mean , define "actively" marked ,
and "significantly" used , way to vague
they then go on to define the terms of #6...
6.1 "Periodic content changes"
Who defines periodic ?
6.2 "Regular submission to search engines"
Who defines regular?
8."We would like a link on all pages"
You have to give them free advertising
8.1 "The link must be predominate and visible"
You must potentially ruin the layout and design of your website that
you worked so hard to create
8.3 "All outbound links must be marked with the nofollow attribute.
For example, all anchor tags should have rel="nofollow" in their markup.
This does NOT include the link to OpenDomain.Org"
That's right ... no links get index by search engines except theirs ...
11.2 "No defamatory comments"
Defamatory to who ? , who defines defamatory?
Why is all this important ? , why does it matter who defines what as which ?
because
14. "Your rights to use any domain end automatically if you breach these terms in any way."
They can kill your domain without notice
