Pidgin

Preferred license: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Pidgin is a multi-protocol instant messaging client that allows you to use all of your IM accounts at once. We're compatible with MSN, AIM, Yahoo!, Google Talk, XMPP, and other IM services. We also produce a console-based instant messaging client called Finch. Both clients are based on our libpurple library, which does the grunt work of connecting to the IM networks. The Adium instant messaging program on OS X also utilizes this library.
Actual source code produced by the student participants in Google Summer of Code™ for Pidgin can be found here.
