cryptomancerwasn’t the Chaos Communication Camp 2003 the largest Gnutella node ever?

swelter_sparkYou typed something into a search box, like “LinkinPark.mp3.exe”.
Lol
klu9This was a really cool read. It’s just missing one detail: is the protocol named after the delicious hazelnut spread… and if so, why?
From Wikipedia:
The name is a portmanteau of GNU and Nutella, the brand name of an Italian hazelnut flavored spread: supposedly, Frankel and Pepper ate a lot of Nutella working on the original project, and intended to license their finished program under the GNU General Public License. Gnutella is not associated with the GNU project[15] or GNU’s own peer-to-peer network, GNUnet.
HiddenTowerNice read and I agree with it. I was a big LimeWire user when it was popular and I don’t think I was aware that Gnutella powered it.
