I'd challenge that perception.  I've seen a few people ask about
branding gaim for a given company, to match with their internal
jabber server,  I imagine that jabber.com and similar companies are
more than willing to brand their own client when the customer wants
it, and surely not everyone looking at gaim is so foolish as to need
to ask how to go about replacing graphics and strings in a GPL
program.
