I can find yaxim on F-Droid, as well as Beem and Gibberbot, but not Xabber. Is it free software?

They ran a "If we get X followers on Twitter in a month, we'll release Xabber under GPLv2" campaign a month or two ago (I think X was either 500 or 1000). Not sure if they made it or not.

Heh, it's 50,000. Well, it's close in some respect :P . That said, they're at 3,000+ right now, so it's pretty far away. Even though notifications are busted (no LED, sound, and an icon is missing for the bar[1]), the auto-OTR is worth it, IMO.

[1]There's a gap for it, but it's invisible if at the end of the icons.
