That's a different lawsuit if you have access to paid WSJ (they had full article for free for few minutes since they broke the news, then pulled it off into premium. bummer).
- jacquesm 17y agoWow, there is more than one of them ? I read it as being the same. The key seems to be this bit: "It turns out that in selling Skype to eBay, Mr. Friis and Mr. Zennstrom retained control of a key part of the Skype technology, which they licensed to eBay. Although the details are under seal in a London court, the Skype founders’ essential complaint is that eBay tampered with their software, and in doing so, violated the terms of the licensing agreement. They were demanding that Skype be forced to stop using the technology, which, for all intents and purposes, would mean shutting down Skype itself. The case is set for trial in 2010." Sorry for muddying the waters. Btw, if you follow the link to the article from google news you can read it.
- zandorg 17y agoThat's a new angle on this: That eBay are messing around with the Skype code. My best guess is, tampering with superpeers to get short-term speed ups, versus long-term messing up Skype fundamentally.
