The news is getting even better:

Google Talk API and source code release

"Last month, the Jabber Software Foundation (JSF) released documentation for
two extensions to the Jabber (XMPP) protocol, named Jingle Signaling and
Jingle Audio. On the same day, Google--co-creators of the
extensions--released a BSD-style-licensed library called libjingle, the
implementation of the extensions that powers the company's Google Talk
software. In addition to opening the API used in Google Talk itself, both
actions will benefit open source instant messaging clients and perhaps
increase the pressure on closed systems like Skype."
