Didn WebMessenger include third-party GPL code?
Aside from class.jabber.php, WebMessenger included only a handful of lines of third-party GPL code. Those few lines were removed during our rewrite. (This can be verified by any Centova Messenger licensee by simply examining the code.) Although approximately 90% of the code in our Jabber library has been completely rewritten from scratch, it still does contain portions of the original class.jabber.php code. We have made arrangements with Carlo Zottmann, the original author of the class.jabber.php code, to relicense our Jabber class under the GNU LGPL (rather than the GNU GPL). This allows us to include it in our proprietary application. This also means that our Jabber library is still free software under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
