We waited a little while with this news, because we wanted official confirmation from Skype before jumping on the internet bandwagon. It's official now, so here we go: Skype has announced that it will release its Linux client as open source. A little late, but welcome nonetheless.

Even if they never open up the protocols, just having the chance of looking at the source code of the client alone will help developers to fix the parts of the code that don't play ball very well with Linux/*nix' userland and give some insight that will allow the development of new and innovative ways of using Skype - as in the service.
I am really looking forward to it!
