 After few discussions on proad.free.adsl and on linuxfr.org
(http://linuxfr.org/~superzen/15187.html), it seems that Free
_lends_ the Freebox (at no charge) while people use their Internet
Access. When one stops his Internet Access abonnement, he has sent
it back.
 Moreover, Freebox boots (each power cycle) over the network and
downloads the OS (which seems to Linux and it's not resident). The
bootstrap code used to boot over network is from Broadcom (for V4
model). So even if you can buy it, you just have a box without any
OS inside.
