LimeWire Goes Open-Source

The famous Anonymous Coward writes: "I saw over on Gnutella News that LimeWire LLC announced that they're releasing the LimeWire codebase under the GPL license and that they've setup limewire.org as a site dedicated to Gnutella and LimeWire development. LimeWire's codebase is currently being used by two of the most popular Gnutella clients: LimeWire and SwapNut. As far as I know, this is the first time a formerly closed-source file-sharing codebase this popular has been open-sourced." gtk-gnutella is coming along nicely for Linux, but more competition is always better.

Google is the ideal for web searching and something approaching that caliber for file searching would be wonderful.

And the TUCOWS and C|NET search pages don't serve you how?

Oh, you wanted infringing files. Sorry...
