So why won't somebody just make a great XMPP client with all the features, make it closed-source and commercial and earn money from it? They could make 3 versions: enterprise with some enterprise features (like CRM/LDAP integration etc), standard and adware - I would gladly buy the second or use the first if the ads were unintrusive and not personalized with my personal data like messages text or contacts.
People make instant messengers, why does everybody have to invent their own protocol? Is XMPP actually so hard to implement?
