LXer: A Liberating Betrayal?


Published at LXer:

Having suspended disbelief for as long as I could, my ability to take Microsoft at their word over Skype was shattered yesterday on hearing the announcement by Digium, sponsors of the widely-used Asterisk VoIP project, that they have been told they can no longer sell their Asterisk-Skype interaction module after July 26.

I saw an interesting comment on Slashdot about this. The poster was suggesting that we'll see a lot of this sort of stuff from Skype in the coming weeks, before Microsoft gets official control of Skype.

I don't usually buy into conspiracy theories, but I think I might believe this one.
