SwapNut and LimeWire   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #4614 of 23639 |
What's exactly the relationship between these two programs?

The Swapnut.jar file (from SwapNut version 1.0) contains only
com.limegroup.gnutella.* classes.

So, assuming SwapNut is derived from LimeWire, the SwapNut source code
falls under the GPL, right?

May be LimeWire do not have enough engineering resources to support that code. Clever though - use for a while the public, then close back the code and be...
