Jabber is an open, XML based Instant Messaging system that seeks
to be the standard IM network.  It is a distributed system, created
from the ground up, not relying upon central servers.  Thus, anyone
can run a server, and they are all interoperable.  For assistance
with migrating users to Jabber, many servers feature transports
for interoperating with other IM systems.

Psi is a client for the Jabber system. Written in C++ and based on
the Qt library, there are versions available for NetBSD, Linux (and
other flavors of unix/X11), Microsoft Windows, and Apple MacOS X.
Psi is released under the GNU General Public License, so you know
that it's truly free, and will remain so.
