Limewire is GPLed

Well, I dont know about the paid-version, but the Free version is both free beer and free speech. I just cvs'ed the source for 2.5.5 and compiled it. I havent run the paid version, but I originally thought it was just a pre-compiled version of the original sans ads and spyware. When you compile from source, it also does not have ads or spyware =)

Thats not to say that I havent done my part. I have paid my $10, even though I consider it a donation rather than a purchase.

Check out limewire.org for more info.
