There's nothing open about about Skype. The protocol is entirely closed and proprietary.
They offer an API to talk to the Skype client from another program running on the same machine, but that's about it. mod_skypopen works by running one or more copies of the official Skype client, creating a virtual sound card and communicating with that from FreeSWITCH.

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.
