To: "autonomo.us discussion mailing list" <disc...@lists.autonomo.us> Seems like this would be a good opportunity to discuss the free alternatives: http://www.nbr.co.nz/article/if-skype-goes-who-would-fill-gap-106880 Executive summary: eBay is in an acrimonius patent lawsuit with a company called Joltid that owns a patent on something used by Skype; Joltid is claiming that eBay violated their license and has "terminated" it, a situation that if upheld by the court would force them to deactivate Skype. Highly doubtful that that will come to pass, but I suppose you never know.
