Skype confirms open source client plans

  Not open source client, just UI. I won't let that near my PC any more than before.

    Agreed. Nobody knows what is transmitted over the wire.

    Indeed, sorry, I realised my mistake when it was too late to edit. I think the best that could come out of this is a unified interface (eg, pidgin) for those that do want to run it.

  to me it sounds as if they have had enough of pulseaudio and all the HDA and chipset mess... just provide an encrypted blob binary for skype's functions, and croudsource the rest, building on their proprietary platform...

  Given the current legal quagmire that is the joltid/skype/ebay saga, I doubt they could open source the whole thing even if they wanted to.
