Various places offer free guest wifi after clicking through web splash screen in an attempt to pass on responsibility for use of connection, but I doubt if record keeping is that high integrity, the ones that require an SMS code at least link to a mobile in the possession of the user.
Technically you're opening yourself up for criminal liability if someone uses your connection for something illegal. This is unfortunately a side effect of the legal framework in the UK, which has similar impact on places that offer free guest wifi:

Not to mention trying to get that over 2.4Ghz wireless reliably.
