Default Linux: LW still works fine with version 5.5.10, but do not attempt to use later version !!!

Looks like the money grabbing nazis have stuck their boots in to stop the use of LW or limit its use.

LW 4 does not have force update options, neither does LW 5.5.10 or earlier.

Forced Update & Legal Notice Sample Image.

You can still use LW 5 if you downgrade back to LW 5.5.10. Basic instructions are here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/359411-post2.html

To find more Linux and related Linux systems LW installers, see LW Linux regular & beta installers (for Debian + Ubuntu or OS/2 + Solaris + Linux)
Recommended is the LimeWire Pirate Edition 5.6.2.

* Note: LW 5 will not connect without a fresh Gnutella.net file so follow those instructions.

To stop the Legal notice on start window, simply click My Files / Library tab or do a search & it will vanish. For LW 4, simply click on the white area or do a search.
Now, instead of seeing the legal notice, you may instead receive a warning you are not connected to the internet. One reason will be because the link which previously hosted the legal notice or updates is now dead. Another reason might be you need a fresh LW connection file.
