The only person to make any sense at all is gerardm. Which i agree with in that it is important to have coorporation and a kind of community effort to develop the critical standard services. But it shouldnt be like that for every aspect of program which is that moak impiled which i didnt get into this in depth before becuase felt i didnt have too. Looks like i was wrong.. So im not going to respond to the majority of moaks reply nor morgwens assumptions or anything about his "reality."
Now on nullsoft releaseing gnutella to be an open network. Thats not how it happened. Nullsoft's effort to create gnutella was commerical. Nullsoft had no intention of releaseing gnutella open protocol. In fact nullsoft didnt release it at all, someone on the inside leaked it out. They only did that because AOL was going to shut it down and gnutella would have never seen the light of day. Their only choice was either leak it or no gnutella ever. | Many words without sense...
