concerned about the legal status of software included in our

significant functionality to Trinity is not included. I suggest that
Trinity users stick to the legal alternatives of Kopete and
Konversation.
The problem there is only with one file.
And what use is an instant messenger that does not support Yahoo?
I don't know, I do not use Yahoo personally. It has multiple
other plugins.
I didn't really expect an answer to this question. Most users here would
expect an instant messenger to work with MSN and Yahoo--Kopete does!
As a project
with limited resources we do not support applications that:
a.) Are maintained upstream
b.) Have standalone replacements that fully include the feature set of
the
application in question
c.) Would utilise an unusual amount of Trinity developer resources to
maintain, especially applications where there are legal problems or b.)
above applies.
d.) Have a very low user base under Trinity.
I just asked you, whether you have it, not why you do not have it.
I know. :-) I just thought this was a good time to post some policy on
what applications are included in Trinity.
