In July of 2007, Skype lost a court case over their failure to include a copy of the GPL in their WSKP100 VoIP phone - it ran Linux, GPL software, which means a copy of the GPL license must be included. The case was started by the gpl-violations.org group. Skype decided to appeal against the decision, but it has decided to withdraw that appeal.

Skype-"But the GLP is an invalid license because it violates antitrust regulation."
Judge-"So you're just illegally shipping copyrighted code then?"
Skype-"Yeah... about that appeal, nevermind".
