Well it may not be "affiliated", but it's all over the OpenWebIMTray application and it most certainly looks like OpenWebIM and WebIM dot ru have a lot in common. Not that there's anything wrong with it, as there are now heaps of open source projects which have an actual company behind it and the company makes the money on services such as customisation, ondemand hosting and so on (e.g. Redhat, Magento, SugarCRM, etc). Reality is that most customers don't want to deal with the technical side of things and its developers (if it has any) don't need to deal with unfamiliar code.
