Mirabilis produced the Java version of ICQ.  They ship the compiled
classes
and not the source.  With the selling of ICQ to AOL, the Java varient
will
more
than likely be scrapped.

ICQ has been on a free BETA TEST since it's creation, this will change
in
the very near future as AOL now OWNS (their own words) this new user
base and sees a lot of revenue in the 12+ million ICQ users.
