xChat

n. - an open source IRC client originally for Linux. Based on gtk+, it is easily ported to Windows. Unfortunately, it's developers decided to make the Windows version shareware. For those familiar with the GNU Public License (GPL), this is less than kosher.

Person 1: We should encrypt this traffic with AES-GCM.
