pidgin.im— Due to several legal issues with AOL and their AOL instant messenger (AIM), Gaim is now known as Pidgin. libgaim will be libpurple, and gaim-text will be Finch.

"GAIM has been known by that name BEFORE AOL started calling their messenger AIM."What did it stand for then.I always thought it was "GTK AOL Instant Messenger."
No... GAIM 2.0.0 beta * (and before) is GAIM... GAIM 2.0.0 final is Pidgin. If you read the page you would've seen that they didn't want to (or couldn't) release a new major version under the name GAIM. Until Pidgin is released (any day now) it is still GAIM.
"A few years later AOL trademarked "AIM," and started referring to their IM services using that name. "So when the military yells "ready.... aim.... fire!", they are breaking copyright laws set by AOL by using the word 'aim'?
Sorry guys, but it appears GINA is a no go.From Wikipedia: "In computing, GINA refers to the graphical identification and authentication library, a component of some Microsoft Windows operating systems that provides secure authentication and interactive logon services."<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GINA">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GINA</a>
@riffic:what you seem to be forgetting: the story is an important article that all diggers should read. stalefries just saw an important piece, and created a better headline, and it shot to front page and to diggnation #94. If he didn't, who knows if this story is read by anyone? Or are you a kevin and alex stalker, and realized they wouldn't be saying your name on diggnation?
[bad jokes]I wish they didn't have to change it, I liked the name GAIM.Oh well, when AOL throws a hissy fit I guess you just have to give them the bird.WOKA WOKA WOKA![/bad jokes]
