So it'll go to court, I presume.  The terms and conditions you agreed to 
when you installed Skype software included your agreement to those terms I 
posted, amongst others.

Why bother with Skype when Digium and all the people on this list are
working to create real open protocols like IAX, and to support real open
protocols like SIP?  Lets rather make an open soft client that's better
than Skype.

Adam - how can we persuade you to bring a community into developing 
Firefly?
