The good thing of Open Source is that it enables custom versions.
So, a spyware free version of LimeWire is now in this world. It is a good thing and a sad thing. Good as it shows that it IS open source. Sad as it distracts from what is essentially a good thing.

I need a tool like LimeWire, I have a non controversial use for it. I think we can find some money to have something like a peer server. There is however no way in which I can get the community that I do this work for to adopt LimeWire with Spyware AND even with a ripped version I will not get the necessary adoption.

In one of the posts I read that you (LimeWire) would sue the Spy ware company if the software was spyware. I do not understand. Isn't it spyware ? If you want to send adds, use your own channell to send the stuff. Send the same ads for all and, I know it is not spyware. Spyware starts with personal targeted ads. It is personal because they know who I am and, I never told them.

So please make it possible to use your product..

Thanks,
