Why eBay Should Open-Source Skype
,----[ Quote ]
| The great thing about opening up Skype is that it wouldn't affect its
| business model, which is already based on giving away the code, albeit in a
| closed form. Money could still be made from the outbound calls from Skype to
| ordinary phone lines. But freeing Skype completely would encourage wider use
| of both it and its protocols as an entire ecosystem grew up around them,
| leading to more users, and more opportunities to sell them subscriptions or
| pay-as-you-go plans. The only thing that eBay would lose are some of its
| problems....

| First, obviously, that such a flaw should be built in is bad. It weakens the
| product - crackers of the world are doubtless firing up their Skype programs
| even as I write - and suggests an extremely patronising attitude to users.
| But I think there's another, less obvious, problem with this revelation.
|
| For some time, people have been talking about getting Skype to go open
| source: you can now forget that.
