ThirdPartyPlugins

 Third party plugins '''are not supported'''.  Do not open tickets on our trac about these plugins.  If you do, those tickets will be closed as invalid.
 
-If you are listing a plugin on this page, note that we ''will'' de-list the plugin if source code is not provided.  Because Pidgin and libpurple are licensed under the GPLv2, the way plugins are loaded within Pidgin and libpurple require that the plugins be licensed in a GPL-compatible manner, which generally includes providing source code.  We will also remove entries from this page that contain broken links, and we will remove any entry with links pointing to malicious sites or software.

Also, the column in the tables that says '''Short Description''' is intended to be '''''short'''''.  Keep the descriptions as short as possible.  Also, do not use profanity or pornographic terminology in your descriptions or plugin names.  We will edit descriptions or de-list plugins that include such terminology or have overly long descriptions.
