Internet & Networking 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.

Not the whole client will be open source. It will be an open source UI that links to big closed source library.

A small good start, but don't call it "Linux Skype Client To Go Open Source" it just isn't. And they mention other platform also.
