Unfortunately, both the manner in which the question was asked, and the relentless repetition of the question in a confrontational way despite its having been answered, prevented you from getting the information you wanted.

Three simple reasons -
3) I wanted to do my best to prevent other servents from masquerading as BearShare servents. The method used to protect the version number is strong enough that it resists any attack, except those which would violate the license agreement (reverse engineering). There is nothing that can be done about reverse engineering, but this still prevents a commercial interest from taking advantage of my hard work. Hey, I'm just one guy I gotta watch my own back!

Better consult your lawyers again, Vinnie...
Now, I'm not a lawyer, but If I remember correctly, clean-room reverse engineering used purely to allow compatability and interoperabilty is considered legal pretty much everywhere. Even the post-DMCA US.
