Besides: Free license means BSD, MIT (or similar) or best: GPL (GNU Public License). To recognize free software I don't need to read the license (in most cases). It's enough to just look which license is being used. b) That is was developed before Gnutella switched to 0.6 wasn't apparent to me. It means, that MP2P needs to be at least 4 years old, because that's when Gnutella 0.4 was replaced. a) If it’s free software, then they must give beta-testers the sourcecode, so we’ll quickly see, if it is free.

I'd wait until it is released to actually read the license before criticizing it. b) MP2P, like gnutella 0.6, is based on gnutella 0.4. I guess the reason is that it was developed before gnutella 0.6 existed. a) You say that “it isn’t produced under a free license”, because “it looks like non free software”.

Just remember the fate of Bearshare. b) Gnutella 0.4 is horribly outdated, and if MP2P is based on the ideas in Gnutella 0.4 (instead of the _much_ more efficient Gnutella 0.6), then it is far less advanced than it states. infos: http://gnufu.net - Gnutella for Users - Arne Babenhauserheide ( http://draketo.de ) Two points:
