Hmmm...familiar names from aD there.  They don't mention anything about it being Open Source, though.

On http://www.imfuse.net/about.html they say:

We use a lot of open source software like Linux, Emacs, and some GNU tools. See our resources page.

Additionally most of their pages don't work (file-not-found)... If it is not my browser, this is weird.

Finally: Is this project technically close to Tom Jackson's project? Here the link:

I think its not really open source based from jabber.org's client listings.  I think Tom Jackson's idea to replace chat module with jabber is better.

this is a project built by some former aD employees.
It's a way to add an AIM "bot" interface to some other
internet service. I think they built the original system
as a TCL thread running inside of an aolserver process.
The current version is done in Java. I believe they are
offering the service as sort of an ASP style (they host
the bot, you pay per transation) or you can license
the software if you need custom integration. It's not
an open source project, however I think they have
developed an API for their messaging server that
may be open source.
