Please let me know if anyone has done this before. > Pidgin is free-and-open-source-software (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open_source_software ), so you can download the source and modify it to suit your needs. You are free to modify the sources for in-house use, but if you wish to distribute it to other people or organisations, you have to comply by the GPL or LGPL - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License ; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Lesser_General_Public_License (which probably means releasing your modifications under a compatible licence). Note that a policy such as the one you describe ought to be enforced by the corporate firewall, to avoid cases of users circumventing it so easily.
