No $$ needed.
Money makes development faster, but open source always catches up.
Cool! Now you get the idea, make something that can actually compete, not something that just block out other users.

AND THAT SUCKS!
How are they sucking your resources? Did Vinnie come over and install BearShare on your system against your will?

On another subject, what made XoloX so wonderful? Isn't "swarming" now working the same?
Xolox was wonderful for a number of reasons. Multi-source downloads (the definition of the term "swarming" is being used in different ways by different people so I choose not to use it here), automatic re-queries, simplicity, etc., all came about in Xolox way ahead of other clients.

That kind of innovation is what's needed in gnutella today. Yeah, so other people have caught up and are using these ideas now, but there isn't nearly as much progress as what xolox spurred.

And it is that kind of competition and innovation that brings a healthy future to gnutella. Not people whining about spyware and closed source clients. And certainly not by being so immature as to block other clients in a vain attempt to compete via unethical means.

Try making it better instead of just throwing a tantrum.
