#2My French is not good enough to see if this is only for exit nodes, or also for internal relays?
Running Tor relays is one of the reasons I use their servers...

"depuis quelques mois, nous avons eu
plusieurs affaires juridiques lié à l'utilisation
de plusieurs réseaux TOR dans le cas de la pedo
et on va désormais l'interdire au même titre que
tous les systèmes d'anonymisation. Cela augmente
l'utilisation frauduleuse de notre réseau et le
nombre de réquisition juridique chaque mois"
"starting a few months back, we've had an number of legal cases regarding the use of multiple TOR networks for pedo, and we will forbid its use from now on, the same way we forbid all anonymisation systems. It raises the number of fraudulent uses of our network and the number of subpoenas each month"
I guess it means both.

#5Google-translated part from http://www.ovh.com/fr/support/documents_legaux/Conditions_pa...:
7.4 For security reasons, all IRC services (for non-exhaustive: bots, proxy, bouncer, etc..), anonymous browsing services (usually called proxies), TOR nodes, are not allowed on the OVH network unless written consent of OVH. OVH reserves the right to suspend any server which these elements are used without prior permission of OVH.

#6"Pour des raisons de sécurité, l’ensemble des services IRC (à titre non-exhaustif : bots, proxy, bouncer,
etc.), services de navigation anonyme (généralement appelés proxy), nœuds TOR, ne sont pas autorisés
sur le réseau OVH sauf autorisation écrite d’OVH. OVH se réserve le droit de suspendre tout serveur sur
lequel ces éléments seraient utilisés sans autorisation préalable d’OVH."
It looks like anything looking like a proxy is forbidden now. Including tor nodes :/

My (amateur) translation, cleaning up Google translate (which doesn't recognize Tor as a proper name): "For several months, we've had many legal matters related to the use of TOR networks in pedo cases, and from now on, it is forbidden along with all systems of anonymization."
Doesn't sound like they want any part of it.

#8I have a hard time blaming them for this. They're a budget provider, so any extra cost handling subpoenas and legal documents (which, let's not kid ourselves, is going to happen 100x more on a Tor node than on the majority of their other customers) quite possibly means a loss for them on a server.

Internal relays would never result in complaints though, since it only connects to other Tor nodes?

The policy is probably just a justification for canceling accounts after they get the first complaint; if you never generate a complaint they'll probably never notice.
