Clearly there's always a "risk" when using a file sharing software that it connects to the network. that being said, there's no _legal_ issue is you dont have anything in download/upload: even if amule connects to the enkey/kademlia networks it has nothing so share or download, so that's just an empty client with no implications for the IP address it connected to. Do you mind trying again with the latest wxwidgets3.0 release? I just uploaded a new upstream release (3.0.5.1) yesterday, so if it was possibly a wx issue, it may have been fixed. Also, there is a very similar amule bug report (crash) from someone who was still running the GTK 2 build of wx, so it would be good to check whether this is really something just seen when when running the GTK 3 build.
