    Gaim is really awesome. We use it internally at work for Jabber(internal instant messenging). It's amazing just how many protocols it supports natively. It is a great client even though it's using GTK in windows. I already donated to the gaim project, and so should anyone else who uses it on a regular basis.

    I love this project and hope it continues well into the future.

    No, it was suspected that the Cerulean Studios were using GPL code in Trillian, but it has been determined to be false.
