There are already a number of such Skype connectors. Some of them claim
to be free (that is: no charge). Some of them take money. I'm not sure
if Skype/eBay sees any of that. They tend to at least bend Skype's
license if not break it completely (e.g: run a client in a XNest server
is a common trick to work around the requirement in the license of the
Skype API for an interactive client).
So now that we have a "blessed" client for which Skype/eBay gets payed,
what happens to those others? Will they still be legal?
