MSN is changing the way their protocol works on 15 Oct, At the same time
they're going to try to impose some kind of licensing for third-party

open-source clients were certain that they'd be able to support it but
weren't sure if they'd be able to do it legally in all nations.

all their efforts toward EB-Lite.
