Hi there,
i question myself cause i opened the emule sources archive and i found that it's not a full package of sources.
my question : is emule totally open source ?
if not, does it exist a totally open source p2p program ?
thx.

Have a look into the readme file for the matter of compiling emule or better visit the development subforum.
How to setup Emule. A small checklist | Schmu's MuleDoc
P2P is not piracy, it's marketing.
In fact, if your music or movie is NOT being downloaded, you should be WORRIED !
If you can't even give it away for free, how do you expect to sell it, stupid ?

It is, only the 3rd party sources aren't included but can be downloaded from the web.

You want a light mod with source-dropping, Powershare and WiZaRd's ClientAnalyzer ?
Try Spike2-Mod !
You rather want to stick to official eMule but don't want to miss all the new fixes and optimizations from the mods ?
Try OfFixed-Mod !

Yes and no.
eMule and the required libraries are open source. However eMule uses Microsoft Foundation Classes, and windows specific callls. You can doubt they are open source(This is not a conflict with the GPL!) . If it is all about purity, amule on linux would be a bit more open.
Beside that, eMule (optionally) likes to use servers that are not open source.
Alternatives? plenty!

IMO most things in emule are open except MFC, which comes only with the commercial M$VS
