Meebo employs libpurple developers. The libpurple team looks to have specifically OK'd Meebo's use of libpurple. I don't think they feel "hard done by".

Maybe it was harsh of me to use meebo/libpurple as an example here in that case. Hopefully they're getting a good chunk of the VC money etc.

Here's where you point out that you compete with Meebo.

Not really, Meebo don't really have a large groupchat offering, and Mibbit don't really have much of an IM offering :)

point taken though... As I said at the start, I wasn't beating on Meebo, I think they've done a great job.

I'm sure there's other examples, but Meebo was the one that sprang to mind.
