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.

Unfortunately the slave is on vacations. New rules of slavery are weird these days.
But no, I wasn't "lazy" of RTFA, I was on my way out and I'd surely forget to come here later. Having a Notification E-mail pop in my box would remind me to check this later.
Thanks for your reply, anyways. It didn't answer the question, but it at least triggered the Notification E-mail I was expecting.

Does anyone know if the protocol parts will be in the open code, too, or if they'll release it as a closed library accessed by the client itself?
I, for one, would actually welcome a complete-yet-closed library implementing the complete protocol to be used by whatever IM system I want.
So you're you are too lazy to RTFA but you want us to answer your questions...
did your slave escape or something?
