Nice and friendly today? This thread is because of companies like Bearshare are destroying free Gnutella. I haven't seen any open source client (beside Limewire) comming with selfish marketing, spyware, proprietary extensions, clustering, blocking or disadvantaging other clients, trying to control and takeover a big market share. Only commercial clients do, only Bearshare and Limewire (okay and Morpheus comes with Spyware too).

So, I have to speak out the word Bearshare, when you tell us how great commercials programs are for Gnutella (allegedly the only hope). But in reality I see those companies destryoing free Gnutella, step by step turning Gnutella into a one/two vendor network on purpose. The problem is not closed sourced software or making money with a protocol. I like money too. :-) The problem is the unacceptable politics of some vendors and some of us will not contribute rescources and knowledge to the benefit of a single vendor.

My idea of a Gnutella network is different, fair, friendly, efficient and in peacefull cooperation, where the benefit of a better network will be for every client. Greets, Moak
