this page also has a much shorter whitepaper:

https://www.ethswarm.org/why

it started out as a storage layer for Ethereum, and as such one of its main 
task is to store the blockchain data, but it's not limited to that. there's 
nothing special about the blockchain data from this perspective, and reflecting 
that, the Swarm project is not under the Ethereum umbrella anymore.

isn't the main task of every p2p storage solution to tackle the free rider 
problem?
