    If Skype decides to block older version of software, then all it needs is to
    furnish Skype Phone hardware manufacturers with a new code to come up with a
    new firmware to support new Skype version. Then, hackers will start to
    reversed engineer on the new version. And, the cat/mouse chase begins.

    OTOH, it looks like the source was released to
    https://github.com/skypeopensource/skypeopensource/downloads GitHUB  on
    6/2/11. let's see how fast it will become a Linux compilable
    package/plugin/module. I won't be surprised to see a working
    mod_skype_re(versed engineered) soon if Anthony and/or FS developers will
    decide to port the source into an FS module.
