I saw this program called "Gnutella Lite" on download.com today. If you click the link for its page, it takes you to a site that advertises "Gnutella Gold", the "pro" version i think. Plus, it looks A LOT like aqualime. I dont know why anyone would pay for it when you can get aqualime for free.

Check it out for yourself:

I would say I'm flattered.. except it isn't a rip of AquaLime. Looks like they just jacked the cvs code straight off of LimeWire.org.

Notice the close button on the search tabs: same old blah blue square. Note also the area behind the main tabs: not skinned, just flat blue. XML search area, also not completely skinned. Crappy playlist buttons. LimeWire did use a tiny bit of my code to implement skins, perhaps they didn't use enough ;) :D

Layout is also not AquaLime, it is almost pure LimeWire. They did makeone change that I can see: seperate tabs for uploads and downloads. yay.

Gold did add one more thing as well: a whole new level of ewww^tm money related bullshit

I doubt this will be very popular, it has a kinda osx look, but it looks kinda crappy too. There's a Duck on it like you said. What the hell does that have to do with gnutella?! or the aqua theme?!
