Intransparent switch to LimeWire

I've been using SnapDrop regularly because it sends files through my local network only – perfect for sharing between devices at home.

Now it suddenly uses LimeWire and the files get uploaded to some cloud. Has this project been compromised? If SnapDrop has actually been "acquired" by Limewire as the README states, shouldn't users at the very least get warned about their files being uploaded and not staying within their local network?
