This is a link to the news:

I believe, but I'm by no means certain (obviously), that the skype
clients that are currently used with mod_skypopen (particularly on
Linux) will continue to work as before.

Those clients (version 2.0.72) were made before M$ had a chance to
install a "remote controlled API self-destruction" in them.

We'll see...
