 NewsForge | LimeWire: Open source brings commercial success
LimeWire, the popular cross-platform P2P client for the Gnutella network, has been growing in popularity thanks to its promise that it contains no adware or spyware -- a fact anyone can verify because the application's source code is open.
According to its open source resource site, LimeWire.org, going open source later in 2001 allowed LimeWire to provide core message passing and file sharing code that all Guntella clients could interact with, allowing LimeWire and other Gnutella developers to focus on adding new features instead of constantly re-inventing the wheel.
LimeWire LLC appears to be taking a practical approach to open source: It makes the code available and rewards developers who make the product better.
