What we need is one protocol, developed by a non-commercial group, where the best of the best free developers are working together in harmony (disharmony will cause the bad one to go outside the inner circle of the community).

Gnutella is one protocol. Any other P2P group can build its client on top of the existing protocols.
Well, the_GDF certainly is a non-commercial group. Anyone can post there, anyone who has something to say will be heard.
A certain disharmony will increase the speed of development. Too much of it will result in flame wars but even those can help the cause at times.
If that really is what you are looking for, Gnutella is certainly the way to go, - but for some companies it might be sensible to use a proprietary protocol.
