You missed the latest news. M$ now owns everything having to
do with software and computers. Everyone must get a license.
Everyone must use M$ products, regarless of whether you need
them or not.
Oh, sorry. I must have been having a bad dream; or was I?

A short explanation here ... (warning: some strong language)
"After a several month hiatus, the individual(s) working to
reverse-engineer Skype's binary client have successfully
"deobfuscated" the Skype 5.5 release. "
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php%3fpage=news_item&px=MTA3NzU
"It was last June that I originally reported on the Skype client being
reverse-engineered, which is when the Microsoft-owned Skype informed me they
were going after the reverse-engineers citing "nefarious attempts to
subvert Skype's experience." Microsoft/Skype began volleying DMCA take-down
notices towards this open-source Skype work. After a few months, not much was
heard of on this Skype reverse-engineering work until now. "
"the fact that they're decompiling/deobfuscating the code as opposed to
another clean-room reverse-engineering approach, I wouldn't expect to see
open-source Skype support land in any popular open-source desktop programs in
the foreseeable future."
