The next release, version 3.0, will use Jabber as the server back-end,effectively open-sourcing the server implementation. The client-side code for communicating with the server will also go open source, though possibly not until version 3.1. That will leave the save-game-to-disk and the optional-password-registration code as proprietary. The save-game code will probably be opened up next, whereas the registration code will always be proprietary. rk [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
