 So where is the source code?

 Please, someone who has legally acquired Skype product, put their source
code on some anonymous FTP server - and keep up to date.
 Then, any GPL software used can have a look at the bugfixes applied;
and we will get source code of the drivers linked to the GPL block (derived
work). Do they have any interesting drivers, like stuff from other
company - that said other company refuses to publish source?

 Unless we will need another round in the court to get the previous
court decision applied, SCO way...

For now, this is "only" a preliminary injuction, meaning they are not allowed to sell the
device until the case has been decided, AFAIK.
