“Is it just something I’ve misunderstood”
I said that in my first post, so there was no reason to blast at me like the first two replies did.

What is the indie P2P picture? Creative commons filtering would enhance the visibility of indie artists.

The name on sourceforge.net is limewire because we didn’t know we would create an alternative at first. The creation of the project was to maintain source code of limewire as a backup elsewhere than the official LimeWire.org. Now with all the work done, it would be difficult to move to frostwire without loosing lots of time.

And we’re very friendly with LW devs, we talk with them everyday. We are just not tied like them to a corporation

When sourceforge active again look there for the source http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=142481

Under the project mailing lists, you can also see all the CVS commits made.

It’s a real shame about LimeWire. It was probably the best of the commercial p2p apps and contributed a lot to the p2p world. Just ask Penn State University. http://p2pnet.net/story/6326. I really hope it doesn’t end up with the likes of Mashboxx.

But as the post says, “FrostWire is proving that the open source community is ready if the network is threatened with unacceptable restrictions.”

It doesn’t matter what the RIAA and MPAA, etc, do, innovators will continue to innovate and the world will continue to move forward, leaving them and their masters on the sidelines.

First of all, it says sourceforge.net/projects/limewire/. <–Note the _lime_
I don’t know if that’s what they call their SourceForge page. Might be.
If that’s the case, than their CVS is okay, no GPL breach.
But then they breach LimeWire’s trademark, unless they’ve gotten explicit permission from LimeWire to use that.

And sourceforge seems to be timing out right now, I’ll check the rules later. Maybe I got it wrong.

Oh, and chill, no reason to go postal!

Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t have anything against FrostWire whatsoever. I think it’s great that LW is finally getting a non-commertial alternative.

Humm, DaBlade is lost, really lost. Source is at the same place than other projects at sourceforge. If you can get the source via CVS, it has to be somewhere right? You don’t have to put a button or banner on a website not hosted on sourceforge either.

Please no bull, ok?

I’m not going to dignify that kind of stupidity with a constructive answer.

I can’t find it’s source code anywhere. On the download talk page, Gregorio links to LimeWire’s SourceForge CVS server, but nowhere is Frostwire’s own code available.
Is it just something I’ve misunderstood or are the Frostwire guys in breach of the GPL?

And, SourceForge’s rules say that all projects hosted on sourceforge must have a SF button or banner to keep getting hosted. I see no SourceForge banners (like the one on phoenixlabs.org for example) on Frostwire’s home page.
