A thread at UTC has some more technical info. The Diet Kaza app makes Kazaa keep doing 'Search More' searches in other supernodes. The author is pretty smart about this, and will also give you the registered Diet Kaza version for free if you email him (!). It seems to redirect the Kazaa homepage by running a local webserver and routing desktop.kazaa.com back to 127.0.0.1. Very clever.

The author ('chip') also states a few times that his Diet Kazaa is legal because it doesn't alter Kazaa in any way, just uses smart tricks to accomplish its goals. KazaaLite is illegal because it's a modified package (just like mine). KLite also asked to partner with him, but he refused because of this. Also, DietKaza is older than KLite, but used to be called KazaaTap (read the thread for info on why it was renamed).
