came across a release of skype for linux. http://software.newsforge.com/software/04/06/29/1615245.shtml?tid=2&tid=82&tid=90&tid=94
I download the tar.bz2 file, extract, run and attempt to register. Remembering vaguely that Skype has some sort of relation to Sharma Networks (of KaZaA fame). So i decide to read an[/the] EULA for the first time in my life. Amusingly the internal EULA rendered the whole program unusable, relying on trusty xkill.
http://www.skype.com/eula.html
Basically, you cannot do any of the hackerish things:
/2.(a)(ii) cause, permit or authorize the modification, creation of derivative works, translation, reverse engineering, decompiling or disassembling or hacking of the Skype Software, the Services or the Network;/
The EULA mentions the United Kingdom, whereas the KaZaA mentions the NSW Government, so not really related.
To me it seems legit, not one for reading these things. Yet to read the GPL and MPL that I quote often.
