I tried with Elgg
http://elgg.org/

It's GPL and pretty stable. The only inconvenience is that the template
available are few and the template creation is a little bit hard.
I wanted to use it for a foss coders network (fosscoders.com) but by a lack
of time I still cannot do it.

and the license.
Other services like ning.com slave you with a lot of restrictive licenses
and policies.

Just read elgg specs, it's huge, you can do almost anything, blogging,
forum, send messages between users, videos and so forth.

Hope this help.

Cheers

Pietro
