Hi Mika, regarding the legal issues: From my understanding (I'm not a lawyer!), it's forbidden to "explore outside the boundaries of the normal requests made by WhatsApp clients", but it does not mention alternative clients. Additionally, it seems that http://www.openwhatsapp.org (for the Blackberry 10, WebOS and N9) is at least tolerated.
But I guess there are people at Canonical who are more knowledgeable about possible legal issues.
