Haven't looked at Gaim's widgets, probably should.

No (see the "Powered by"-message in my signature).

Scw is my personal hobby project, I don't get paid to do it.

Officially, no.

Unless the Maemo team decides that they want to put them there, of course :=
)

Unofficially, installing them with the Application Installer on
product devices (for programs to use) probably will be supported at
some point. Someone should make a client that uses them for Maemo
first ;)

Then prepare to part with the money (once the devices are available),
as Gaim is already there:

People have been chatting on #maemo@freenode with the developer
devices, with Gaim and Xchat (and even Irssi) so it's not really a
fantasy anymore.
