Quite a lot of organizations use Spark which is a straight up XMPP client, they also license an enterprise XMPP server.

- Alupis 10y ago> Quite a lot of organizations use Spark which is a straight up XMPP client, they also license an enterprise XMPP server. The same open source community (IgniteRealtime.org[1]) that maintains the Spark[2] XMPP client, also maintains OpenFire[3], a very good and easy to setup XMPP server.

- DKnoll 10y agoHuh... I was confused when somebody told me they bought an Spark enterprise server license... now even moreso. I think they probably just bought a license for a commercial fork of OpenFire.
- Alupis 10y ago> I think they probably just bought a license for a commercial fork of OpenFire. That's very possible. Cisco bundled/bundles OpenFire into several of their enterprise appliances, including the Cisco Finesse product. Other companies do similar things. OpenFire is licensed under the Apache license. There's also the possibility that your friend bought an enterprise license to OpenFire back when it was a commercial product under the name WildFire (Spark was commercial back then too). That would have been many, many years ago, back before Jive Software open sourced WildFire/OpenFire, Spark, Smack (XMPP Java Library), and several other pieces of software for real time communications.
