Skype preps open source Linux VoIP UI

,----[ Quote ]
| Skype announced that it is working on an open 
| source UI layer for its Linux VoIP client. 
| Although apparently not fully open source, the 
| upcoming version of the Skype client for Linux 
| could enable more open development of client 
| front ends, including those for mobile devices.

Skype to open-source far too little

,----[ Quote ]
| While Skype has acknowledged an interest in 
| making its Linux client open-source, this may 
| not mean very much in practice.

Skype open source? Ain't gonna happen

,----[ Quote ]
| The blogosphere was all a-twitter yesterday
| when rumors surfaced that Skype, the popular
| internet telephony application, would be
| released as open source âin the nearest
| futureâ. It turns out that Skypeâs plans are
| not so grandiose, and even if they were,
| questions about who owns the code would prevent
| it from happening.
