![]() There seems to be a general scarcity of free software (i.e. open source with the freedom to contribute and modify code) Gnutella clients out there. This just doesn't make any sense to me. These clients are free of charge anyway, and the whole open source concept seems to go much better with the Peer-to-Peer community than the current middle-of-the-line free but not free clients. I'd really like to start a discussion about this within the community.
