Moose looks and works just like BearShare! No need to learn anything new! No spyware, no adware. Easy to use, tabbed menus just like BearShare.
It will be priced at $15.95
It's based on Gnucleus code, modified of course.
Coming next month.

Use the Moose!
Ummmmmm.... NO!

You DO realize that anything based on Gnucleus source must also be open source. Please read the GNU Public License (GPL.txt included with the Gnucleus source that you're modifying). Hence, if I interpret the GPL correctly, you can't charge anything for your servent if it's based on Gnucleus code. Oh, and that means I can also ask you for your source code... for free of course.

Besides, I can already get Gnucleus for free. I don't have to pay you for another Gnucleus clone with a few small features added. And even if it looks and works like Bearshare, I can get Bearshare for free too... I don't need to install any of the spyware so that doesn't end up to be a problem.
