HuH? LW is free, and the Pro is more like a donation. The Pro was designed to give the person who supports LW development a bit of a boost--rather like a thank-you. Since Pro support funds LW development, it's good to check out www.limewire.org before deciding to "sell" Pro undates

Quote:

LimeWire is the Flagship Client on the Gnutella Network We believe that the Gnutella Network could be and should be one of the core distribution tools on the Internet. We believe in open standards, open networks, and that any global networking protocol must have an open source piece at its core if it is to remain uncorrupted. We believe that the best people to develop the Gnutella Network and its applications are its users. We invite all users interested in developing the Gnutella Network and its applications to join the LimeWire Open Source Project. 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.

I've probably misunderstood much of this thread, but thought the LW goals deserved a place here anyway
