Yes I believe your right.

Again correct, Joe's stuff is very well written, very flexible, it can be
used for Client and Server/Server components and under the Jabber Open
Source License, which is even more free than GPL because you can use it
proprietary so you can build commercial products without having to release
the source to your products.

I really think we can pump out good working stuff that rivals the commercial
company Tipic except for the server based solutions as we just don't have
the developers to get all that done.

Take care,
Simon

As far as I can see Tipic does not seem to be an open platform for
development , nor is it Free for commercial use ....

While the Jabber.Net by Joe Hildebrand is fully free ... (under JOSL
IIRC)... And the best part is that we have the peices ready , except
for the XmlTextReader ...

If that can be rushed to the working stage , we might have the perfect
webservice toolkit ...

Even if Ximian/Tipic works, I would rather think companies will use our
planned system if it proves to be cost effective :-)...
