Just FYI, I know people had talked about this before in the context of
using reCAPTCHA on wikipedia. The consensus, if I remember correctly,
was that while it was open source, they required you to use their
servers which would be an unacceptable point of failure.

Anyway, google acquired them today, so I guess there is some
possibility that might change, although no discussion of this yet (and
allow self-hosting)
