Isn't WhatsApp a property software, e.g not open source? Wouldn't converting it without the authorization of the WhatsApp team be infringement of rights?

20 0 5222 talk1.l.google.com.
5 0 5222 talk.l.google.com.
20 0 5222 talk2.l.google.com.
What "domain" does it use for Jabber IDs (e.g., if you have a WhatsApp account, what Jabber ID would you use in a standard Jabber client to access the account)?
How does the application register accounts? By the Jabber registration feature?
Maybe, just maybe, it won't be too much trouble to port it over.
It may help in writing a telepathy plugin to make the protocol accessible to the conversations app on N900 (and other apps on other platforms). But, if the protocol is actually XMPP, then there's no need for a separate plugin, if we have the details I asked for above.
Of course, it seems WhatsApp isn't interested in XMPP inter-operation, or they would have made these details available on their website.

as i understand it uses something like areacodephonenumber@s.whatsapp.net
e.g.
9725454545454@s.whatsapp.net
where 972 is israel code and 54545454 is number (it deletes 0 in the begining)

I'm studying for an exam that's in a week or so, but I fired up WireShark, got my trusty Nokia E66 connected to WiFi (with no SIM card, to force WhatsApp to use WiFi) and started logging packets.
Lo and behold, what I got in return cheered me up. It appeared to be nothing other than bog standard XMPP! Maybe, just maybe, it won't be too much trouble to port it over. They might have some proprietary extensions to lock other clients out, but I can't really recall. As I said, exam > WhatsApp
