"11.1 You must take all reasonable precautions to ensure that no one
(including you) uses the service:

(a) fraudulently or in connection with a criminal offence;"

I think running an open network would be unreasonable in their opinion.

"11.3 When we provide you with the service it, and any associated software,
is intended for your use only. Therefore, you must not re-sell, transfer,
assign or sub-license the service (or any part of it) or the associated
software to anyone else."

"12.2 The content we provide to you can only be used for your own purposes
and is protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property
rights. You are not allowed to copy, store, adapt, modify, transmit,
distribute externally, play or show in public, broadcast or publish any part
of the content."

These would scupper you except for ... "The service allows you to access the
internet. The internet is separate from the service and use of the internet
is at your own risk and subject to any applicable laws. We have no
responsibility for any goods, services, information, software, or other
materials you obtain when using the internet." ... they say the service does
not include the Internet, so if you're just offering Internet access through
your node, you're not abusing terms?  Bear in mind, that IANAL!
