I don't know if it implements exactly the same protocol, but 
SuSE 7.1 (released on the 12th of February, which is an interesting 
date considering the timing of the napster ruling) contains something 
called "gnapster". 

check http://www.suse.com.

I haven't downloaded it yet; I'll see what it is next time I'm 
building a new box.
