Hi Oldak,
well ok, you are right, then employee the limewire coders (in the background) for yacy in wiki sytle and cspace in java integrated, and we are done, then limewire is free, to implement yacy for themselves without any relationship to wikipedia. As Nobody knows, that limewire Sam coded the yacy wiki search p2p engine with cspace-java, as all is open source, limewire can use it as well without wiki branding.

On 30/12/06, > > Hello Jim, hello Sam,
you search for coders to get wiki-search out. There are already a lot of coders in the list http://search.wikia.com/wiki/search:Developers
What do you think about a collaboration with limewire ?
http://www.limewire.org/forum/showthread.php?p=3090&posted=1#post3090
Integrate yacy in limewire and built up a colaboration with yacy,
limewire and messenger cspace (ported to java) for wikia and wikimedia foundation.
Both are java. Kind regards tom.
Preliminary: All respects to Limewire and the hard work that's been put into the development of the software. Also, I'm not making judgement on what the technologies behind Limewire enable end-users to do (FWIW, I am certainly *not* siding with the RIAA!).
Someone on these mailing lists a couple of days ago wrote that Wikimedia was the only Web 2.0 venture that really took copyright seriously. Being the leading project in the free-content movement, taking copyright seriously is necessary to furthering our cause and our goals. I do not think it would help us to collaborate with projects which are seen by some (perhaps many) to be legally shady when it comes to copyright. Whether or not we agree with the notion that technology which enables copyright violation should be accountable for any copyright violation that occurs using the technology, we need to respect the law and need to appear above-the-board.
