What is your favorite interoperable messenger?
January 19, 2002 at 5:48 pm #102722FanaticMemberAn interoperable messenger is one that is compatible with other instant messengers (AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo).
If you vote for “other” be sure to post a reply that specifies why and what you’re voting for. Of course, if you wanna just say why you think you’re vote is the RIGHT vote, you’re entitled.

Is it available for license or in public domain?

Actually, the voice/video capabilities of the native clients are one of the features that has not been duplicated by the interoperable clients. Mostly they provide basic text chat, with varying degrees of extra features (buddy icons, file transfer, chat rooms, etc.).
And no, none of these are advertised as available for license. But everyone has their price!

Eyeball also claims to be interoperable. Is it also only for non-A/V stuffs?
