Question

Recently came across pidgin. Its great, and does what I want, but I am not too keen on the GPL license. Other any alternatives, with less restrictive licenses?

I would prefer the library to be C or C++, as I am most familiar with those languages, but a an IM library implemented in python would be interesting too.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Take a look at kde's kopete. The chat client itself is still GPL but it's underlying library libkopete is LGPL. So you could link with it pretty freely.
