Commercial use

[JJCash at dstsystems.com]

Hello
My name is Josh. Every year our group is charged with coming up a way to 
improve productivity. For my yearly improvement, I am trying to find a IM 
program that we could use as a backup when our IM server crashes, which is 
often. We use Lotus Notes at DST and our group heavily relies on Sametime 
IM to communicate with each other and various other groups. But it crashes 
on a regular basis.

I have a list of question I have before I can turn it over to my manager.
1. Can PIDGIN be used commercially and if so are there licensing fees?
2. How secure is PIDGIN. Please be specific.
3. I saw that PIDGIN can be used with Lotus Sametime, but will it work if 
the server in our company for Sametime is down?
4. Can PIDGIN be used stand-alone or must there be another IM that it 
interacts with.

I had other but cant think of them at this moment.
I am anxiously awaiting a reply.

Thanks,
Josh Cash
