Limewire could potentially be seen as closer to the edge, since it is
totally distributed and so everyone is part of the entire network. On
the other hand, it does put up the appearances of warning you when
you're downloading something that's "unlicensed" - not sure how the
issuance of licenses is actually done.

But the legality argument is moot for the moment. Does Limewire even
run on the Fedora Java stack without using Sun's JRE?
