1) It's very strange - Shareaza is probably the best client out there, but hardly anybody uses it. I guess it's the "Mac" of the Gnutella world. It's really really good, but everyone is just too hard headed to use it :P
2) Not a problem with Shareaza.
3) Unstable? Can you tell us why? How is it unstable?
4) HAHAHA! Oh, boy. You'd be kicked up the a-hole if you said that at a place like /. "Non-Commercial" means they do not charge for licenses/use etc. And indeed, Shareaza does not charge anything. Thus it is indeed "Non-Commercial". It's closed source because that's what Mike wants it to be. Closed source software can be non-commercial too, you know. And open source, even though it may cause you to implode, can be commercial as well (like this forum software, for example :P). Open source isn't always the wisest path to take.
