[Adium-devl] AOL opens up AIM

[Andre-John Mas]

I just looked at the FAQ and saw:

   We tried to make the Open AIM Program as restriction-free and  
flexible as possible. But in order to help protect our network and  
users, certain rules apply.

     * We ask that you incorporate two value-added features of the AIM  
service into your application. The full list that you can pick from is  
listed in our Additional Feature Requirements webpage.
     * Although we have removed many restrictions on usage and  
development, we still do not permit developers to build Open AIM  
applications that are interoperable with other IM networks. (Multi- 
headed applications are now allowed). Please refer to the Developers  
License Agreement for additional details.

The second point is confusing, since it says "we still do not permit  
developers to build Open AIM applications that are interoperable with  
other IM networks", yet "Multi-headed applications are now allowed".  
Are the any multi-headed applications taht aren't interoperable with  
other networks. Also does this mean that reversed engineered stuff is  
technically more open that the official open API?
