Canonical Pushes Skype Into Ubuntu Repository

,----[ Quote ]
| Again this is a closed-source version of 
| Skype. We do know that an open-source side to 
| Skype is being worked on and an update is 
| expected soon, but with Canonical now pushing 
| this Skype binary into Ubuntu Lucid makes us 
| wonder if Skype and Canonical are working 
| together on this new version or have any 
| other dealings. Traditionally, Skype has not 
| been available via distribution repositories 
| but users have had to acquire it via their 
| web-site.
