 How do I load Pidgin to the Iphone?

You can't execute Pidgin on your iSlave phone, and that's fine.

As you are asking this form an Oracle address, I suspect your real 
question was how do I use Oracle's internal XMPP server from an 
iPhone?, which is a question you need to ask of Oracle IT support.


Please mention, yet again, that questions about their XMPP server are 
getting misdirected here, suggesting a fault in their support process.


There are legal complications which mean that Pidgin itself cannot be 
developed for the iPhone, unless Apple change their policies, but that 
doesn't mean that there are not other programs that are compatible with 
Oracle's XMPP service.

Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam,
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.

Have we talked about this on this mailing list?  Maybe it's worth
mentioning what the legal complications are, in case anyone is
curious.  My understanding is that Apple's App store terms of use
places requirements on apps (I don't remember the details), and those
requirements are not compatible with the GPL.

Yes.  Although I think I've come across at least one other piece of 
software applying this policy.

That's my understanding.  In particular, I think they forbid redistribution.

This has actually been discussed before, and invariably is linked back to
https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/WhyNoiOSVersion, which covers the problem.
