Converstations with Christian are available here,

"http://www.lugs.ch/~melone/egg2html.php?channel=gtk-gnutella&date=29Mar2007"
"http://www.lugs.ch/~melone/egg2html.php?channel=gtk-gnutella&date=28Mar2007"
etc.

LimeWire is also open source.

  [limewire] $find . -iname \*\.java -exec grep -l -i mojito {} \;
  ./gui/com/limegroup/gnutella/gui/menu/AdvancedMenu.java
  ./gui/com/limegroup/gnutella/gui/Console.java
  ./core/com/limegroup/gnutella/dht/impl/NullDHTController.java
  ./core/com/limegroup/gnutella/dht/impl/PassiveDHTNodeRouteTable.java
  ...

etc.  I am not a LimeWire affiliate.  I think they are doing a fair job
of keeping people in the loop.  The fact the source is available is 
pretty much 100% indicative that they are not monopolistic.  See
"http://www.limewire.org/checkcode.shtml"

It would be nice if some rationals were provided and/or documentation on
protocols, as well as any analysis.  However, I think they develop in the real
world ;-)

fwiw,
