Gaim’s name now changed to Pidgin

April 8th, 2007 by james

Due to legal issues with AOL over the Gaim name, after a lot of secret talks with AOL, the name of the project has been changed to Pidgin. This is definitely going to take some getting used to as Gaim has pretty much become universal in my vocabulary. Many of my non-Linux using friends also use Gaim… er Pidgin. In any case, it is good to see the legal issues finally resolved even though it resulted in a name change.
