If that's the case, then explain to me why the OpensourceP2P client uses "OPENSOURCE CONNECT" rather than "GNUTELLA CONNECT" as a handshake (which means they are NOT using the Gnutella protocol... they're using a variant of it, but it's NOT the Gnutella protocol anymore if it's modified not to have any mention of Gnutella in it at all)... if they just wanted to distance themselves from Bearshare and LimeWire, they would just block those clients and continue participate on the Gnutella network. But instead they are participating on a WHOLE NEW network. Sounds blatantly like distancing themselves from the Gnutella network to me!
