As I understand it, the goal of the OpenSource p2p network is to discourage the use of commercial gain from the Gnutella network. That's fine, and I support the idea. I don't however, support the method in which this aim is being achieved. By excluding select users based on their client, you are hurting the end user, as opposed to the client's developer. |
