some logical I don't understand. why is it need reverse engineering if Skype had an open source community until today ? ----- Original Message ----- From: Gopal krishnan To: FreeSWITCH Users Help Sent: Friday, June 03, 2011 9:54 AM Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] skype reverse engineered http://www.zdnet.co.uk/news/intellectual-property/2011/06/03/skype-denounces...

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. ----- FreeSWITCH hosted on a Seagate DockStar with OpenWRT and ONLY consumes 3 Watts of electricity. -- View this message in context: http://freeswitch-users.2379917.n2.nabble.com/skype-reverse-engineered-tp643...
