Does anyone have an update on this thread? I'd like to get ahold of the Acquisition source myself. I did send an email to Dave requesting the source a few days ago and I have not received a response. If anyone else has received the source code lately I'd just as well get it from them since that seems like it would be easier.

I should note, however, that not all of Acquisition is required to be GPL'd. Dave went to a lot of trouble to create two independent programs, one that interacts with the LimeWire core (a bridge), and another (the GUI) that interacts with the bridge. The bridge is launched and run as an independent application by the GUI and they communicate with each other via pipes. By doing this the bridge needs to be GPL'd, but the GUI does not.

I think that Dave was pressured to release the GUI under the GPL and has done so. I wish that he'd be more forthcoming about sending out the source when it is requested though. Especially the bridge source which is required to be GPL'd.

Anyway, the bottom line is that I'd really like to see some recent source code (I've already looked at acquisitionx.org), so if anyone has something recent, then let me know.
