Confirmed - Morpheus is using Gnucleus GPL code in commercial product

Hit returns id as MRPH, the lame (in a hurry cause the corp prez says he's losing money) programmers found that string, but downloads say you connect to Gnucleus.
Time to e-mail them and demand release of source code and removal of spyware.
Will they simply change all the strings and claim it's theirs? Can we somehow disassemble it and check? When corporate profits are involved do you just ignore the GPL?
Why aren't people smart enough to just go get spyware free Gnucleus? All those people on Morpheus and hardly any of them have a clue.
Then they will all realize that it's not Morpheus anymore, and you have to wait a little bit to get a search result, will they ever find out they don't have to "pay" for software to connect to Gnutella?
You think Morpheus corp will hide the names of other FREE Gnutella clients that connect to them just like Bearshare does?
100,000 nodes and climbing. What fool said Gnutella can't scale? WHY NOT? Who was that idiot? Someone find the quote! Always some idiot out there that thinks he knows it all.
The only thing that changes is your ability to find a file on the "other" side of the network. But with 5 connections you may be already connected to the "other" side anyway and your search covers everything.
YES - Gnutella scales just fine, now shut up and share some files!

Go ahead. They'd have to be idiots not to give you the source. On the other hand, I doubt they'll remove the "spyware". The GPL doesn't require it.

It was Jordan Ritter (well, him and a bunch of other people). The paper is here.

You are aware the source is available at http://www.musiccity.com/source/, right? Also the GPL doesn't require them to offerr the source as a download side by side with the binaries, only to provide it if requested (i.e. e-mail 'em). Did you e-mail them asking for the source? Get your facts straight before flaming away!
