I somewhat half-agree with you, it's aways catching up, but: Trillian does it; AFAIK software patents are valid only in United States of America; Reverse-engineering allows us to implement what users demmand now. I started coding because I needed to be able to see my girlfriend and my mother. As we offer things to users that enable them to use Free OSes and FLOSS we can later on attract them to open IM platforms/protocols. Interoperability with closed-source protocols is a riddance we need to handle while a FLOSS IM infraestructure is not broadly used. It takes time, but we have it. Who would imagine some years ago we would have a viable alternative to Microsoft, and such a growing acceptance in the market, with IBM, HP, Governments and a grassroots movement pushing it forward? We'll win.;)
Kopete does video chat, and amsn does too. Kopete does video chat in MSN and Yahoo! protocols. The video compression used by MSN was reverse-engineered by our fellow friends from the FarSight Project, and was ported to Kopete. The SVN and 0.12 versions already work just fine, and KDE 3.5 will have video support by default.
Kopete (SVN) lready receives video using MSN and Yahoo protocols, and can send video using the MSN protocol. KDE 3.5 will have it by default.

As a Kopete developer I invite you to meet the rest of us at #kopete (irc.kde.org), check out the SVN branch and rethink your opinion about Kopete. You can even elaborate some constructive ideas and tell us them, as we work implementing some neat stuff as video support for Yahoo (implemented) and MSN (in the works). We really appreciate user input and we're open to suggestions to improve the user experience.
Attention: According to the C ISO standard, NULL is platform dependent. A programmer must not assume NULL=0 if he/she wants to be sure his/her code is portable.
if(pointer==NULL) may be different from (!pointer).
if(pointer==NULL) is the correct way to check if the pointer is null, and is the cleanest way to type it.
30kg of 3% purified plutonium can mean 1kg of 90% purified plutonium, or am I wrong? If 8g of bomb grade plutonium was able to make such a mushroom over Hiroshima, the suposedly missing material would be used to make 125 Hiroshima-like nukes and they would still have 29kg of god-only-knows-what-kind-of radioctive material that could be used to make some dirty bombs. Scary.
