Ah Baddbob, because LW has NO patent (sort of), the scammers can take advantage of them. See http://www.limewire.org/ to see what open source means

Quote:

Lime Wire LLC hopes to expedite Gnutella research and development by providing the core message passing and file sharing code, so that one need not waste time re-writing it. The combined public efforts of noble individuals will keep Gnutella a virtuous, public network, for the people and by the people. The LimeWire Open Source Project hopes other developers will help to build the network that benefits all people and future generations.

Bottom feeders like scammers love to exploit idealists, sadly .

Anyway, I keep paying for the real version of LimeWire. That's my little way of flipping the bird at the scammers.
