 Re: Open Source

As the LimeWire client is Open Source, why not start off with their client, strip the sypyware and call it a reasonable fork ??
Reasonable as it is allowed, reasonable as it provides a demonstrable added function: no spyware and therefore improved security?
When you do your coding, you send your patches back to LimeWire and therefore you stimulate the convergence to a single client.
Thanks,
have fun
Gerard | Gnutella needs also new ideas... its not enough to improve old ideas... new clients = new ideas!
And I know some good programmers, but they donīt programm in java... LW is written in java...
