Because he provides several utilities on his site to remove SpyWare.
I'm sure if he owned the source code, he'd open it up... His version
is simply a "hacked" version that removes the crap the the original
Kazaa has in the way of that spyware engine that they were distributing.
Someone asked about pop-up's. Yeah, it still has them, and it always
will as long as the product uses the IE control for its landing screen.
When you open Kazaa and Kazaa Lite (which is the same thing), you
get a browser interface, this is where the popups are coming from --
right from the site. Not much you can do about that.

How can you be sure that kazza lite contains no spyware when you have no
access to the source code? The only guarantee is the creators word. He might
be saying it just to promote kazaa lite and get more users to it.
