No one asserts any rights over information that traverses the jabber
network.

ICQ and AIM can try to claim ownership because they are closed services
and you sign an end user agreement when you create an account on their
services or download their software. In the Jabber world, we have an
open network, anyone can use any client to access the network, and we
value freedom of communication above "eyeballs" and advertisements.

Specifically, if you are asking about the jabber.org service on the
Jabber network, we too do not assert any rights over the information
that passes through our service.
