The eDonkey part is based on the (GPLed!) mldonkey core, thus forced to be GPL.
Not much space to argue here.

So what ? Everything else is GPL, except the client.lam file .
mldonkey is:
- a client for eDonkey, partially GPL.
- a client for other networks, completely GPL.
- a GUI for mldonkey, completely GPL.
- + some chat programs, CDDB utilities, completely GPL.
I will modify the LICENSE file to explain that the lam file is not GPL. The
main interest of GPL is that you can re-use all source files of mldonkey,
except the client.lam file, which is less than 5% of the provided sources.
