Open source Skype client under development
It looks like EBay is having some legal
troubles with its sale of Skype. The former
owners are apparently suing over source code being shown to potential
investors.
If this doesn't get resolved then Skype may have to switch to a different
underlying technology. Let's hope it is SIP-based, but don't hold your
breath.
If it does go ahead it will be interesting to see if the new owners will
be more open to Skype being used from other clients and on other
platforms.
