    Due to several legal issues with AOL and their AOL instant messenger (AIM), Gaim is now known as Pidgin. libgaim will be libpurple, and gaim-text will be Finch.

    Kinda sad that the "Powers that be" and a few Lawyers can ruin a good name & brand...

    I've used game on linux and it's the best messenger for that OS in my opinion. Sad to see that the chaps at AOL will actually wast their time going after free software, shame on you AOL!!!!
