"allow commercial sponsors to "rent" unused CPU time on the network "

I don't want a commercial entity using my cpu cycles is the point. I'll use limeshop (I dont have a problem using them as a referrer.. there's no real harm there.. at least someone will benefit from purchaces, if I cant.).

If I want to find aliens, I'll install SETI.

If I want to cure cancer, I'll install Folding Chairs, or whatever it is.

What if I already donate idle cycles to cancer? And some business wants to pay you to simulate nuclear explosions or something? I sure as hell want the cancer cure to be found first.

Possibly have seperate compilations. LimeWire, and LimeWire Lite. At minimum, an opt-in screen during the install, with an explanation of what it does.

Maybe I was overreacting a bit. But my point still stands. (Banner ads I can stand, but if lime gets any crazy features like a distributed cycle stealing network, Im switching to Gnucleus... at least they have GnuCache and Hashes :P
