I think I see two problems with ZeroTier.
(1) ZeroTier isn't open source. It uses the "Business Source License
1.1" which only allows "non-production" use without buying a commercial
license. See the README.md in https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne .
(2) ZeroTier uses encryption to tunnel packets around the Internet.
That works great for everybody except for hams whose packets are
transmitted over amateur frequencies. We certainly can't build anything
that requires encryption into the basic 44net infrastructure (as we
evolve it forward), since our whole goal is moving packets over amateur
frequencies.
Other than that, it looks like an interesting product.
