Shareaza 2.0 Released Under GPL

Posted by timothy on Wednesday June 2, 2004 @05:44AM from the runs-under-whatnow? dept.

RageEar writes "Today it was announced that the latest version of Shareaza, a popular P2P application for Windows, was released under the GPL. Currently the source code is hosted by the Shareaza servers, but the announcement makes mention of the code becoming a project on Sourceforge. The binaries are still available for Windows only, but I imagine it is only a matter of time before a Linux port emerges."

Re:do we really want OSS P2P apps? by eldacan · 2004-06-02 05:53 · Score: 1, Offtopic

Given that mldonkey is here, open-source and implements most of the P2P protocols, this release will not make a big difference.

By the way, mldonkey is really a great project! Its client-server approach is very handy to download in the background and control downloads remotely.
