LimeWire is open source as much as yours will be. Isn't it a crying shame that there are so many different clients ?

I do not understand why we want/need another client ?

As the LimeWire client is Open Source, why not start off with their client, strip the sypyware and call it a reasonable fork ??

Reasonable as it is allowed, reasonable as it provides a demonstrable added function: no spyware and therefore improved security?

When you do your coding, you send your patches back to LimeWire and therefore you stimulate the convergence to a single client.

Thanks,
have fun
