hmm, for fun i installed it on a windows box (evil stuff i tell you, i'm 
already flooded by ads popping up everywhere), and well, they do include 
the mldonkey gpl licence with the binary distribution. however i can't 
find an offer for the source code anywhere... so if they would start by 
releasing their adaptation of the source, then the question is, how do 
they combine the code with other, non-gpl, code...

and no, o.p. van, morpheus is not free.

check this:

and /. had a story not so long ago about how to handle these things, 
might come in handy:
