Cisco Buying Jabber--The Open Source Connection

As GigaOm notes today, Cisco is buying instant messaging service Jabber for an undisclosed amount. Many of the news stories on this are missing the open source connection--or the almost open source connection. As Stacey notes in the GigaOm story, Jabber is based on Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP), the same protocol being used by several open-source IM implementations. Matt Asay also does a nice job of clarifying that Jabber uses open technologies, but has never been 100 percent open source. Find more at GigaOm.
