there is no way to fight ignorance. i give up. good luck with your opensource network.

Xolox was developed by a small dutch company named Beerenboot IT founded by four former students. Their emails never show up on any site related to Xolox, however here's how to contact them:

At least Arno Steenbekkers and Michel Pasman are Xolox developers. I don't know for sure about the other two.

You might want to contact them, since they are going to release a new version of Xolox in several weeks.

Announcing "Moose" a new Gnutella client!

Moose looks and works just like BearShare! No need to learn anything new! No spyware, no adware. Easy to use, tabbed menus just like BearShare.
It will be priced at $15.95
It's based on Gnucleus code, modified of course.
Coming next month.

Use the Moose!

hahaha, 15.95$! I'll leave it to the other trolls to tell you where you can shove it...

Im not a troll but you can shove it up yer... never mind.... tell us more about Moose :)

Do you even read the GPL?

Sorry, but as long as whoever it is releases the source code he can sell "the Moose". Look at redhat, you pay $50+ for a GPL operating system. Personally i think he's trolling, but anyway.

Ummmmmm.... NO!

You DO realize that anything based on Gnucleus source must also be open source. Please read the GNU Public License (GPL.txt included with the Gnucleus source that you're modifying). Hence, if I interpret the GPL correctly, you can't charge anything for your servent if it's based on Gnucleus code. Oh, and that means I can also ask you for your source code... for free of course.

Besides, I can already get Gnucleus for free. I don't have to pay you for another Gnucleus clone with a few small features added. And even if it looks and works like Bearshare, I can get Bearshare for free too... I don't need to install any of the spyware so that doesn't end up to be a problem.

Yes, but under the GPL, they can only charge for the act of making a copy of the program (which means they can charge you if they sell you a CD of it) or they can charge for warranty (which seems to be what the $50 charge is for).

Other than that, you can still get Red Hat for free.

The way I read it is that they can charge anything they want for it, but must give away the source code when asked...
