This is exactly what bearshare and Limewire are doing!
Yes sure actually they can share from each other but do you really think this is the last step? Vinnie is talking for a long time now that he wants to create his own net! And nobody hacked bearshare and can explain us what this encrypted packets etc. are doing... yes there are users reported that bearshare cuts the connections!
Only future will tell us who is right!
A yes fans fighting against each other because its a famous sport on bearshare.net to trash other clients (see Xolox), some people there think they are something special because they are using bearshare and not client X! The idea behind Gnutella is helping each other and not just yourself, I see more and more that the commercial clients donīt want to help... they create new feature, instead of creating a new protocol which includes the proposals and this new features they cluster their nodes together!
Yes Viva Gnutella - but ALL should respect some rules...
