Subject: [gnomeicu-support] We're done
Good morning all,
I'm writing to regretfully inform you that the GnomeICU project is going
to have to be shut down. Apparently, since the acquisition of ICQ by
AOL, the idea of a free, non-advertising client just doesn't mix with
AOL's goals (spam the desktop, if you ask me). Anyway, AOL has written
me and asked that I please (hey, at least they said please ;)) remove
the gnomeicu website, remove the source from general public
availability, and ask distributions to pull the software as well. On a
brighter note, they say that they are working on a fully-functional
AIM/ICQ client for linux, which they hope to release "soon". Sadly, it
will have all the stupid advertisements and stuff that make windows ICQ
such a pain in the neck to use.
Anyway, this project began as just a toy so I could learn some cool
programming tricks, and I'm really rather surprised we've stayed in the
game this long. Thanks for all of your support, and I hope to see you
around in the great GNOME programming world :)
Sincerely,
Jeremy Wise
