Skype 5.5 deobfuscated

2 days ago, the decompiled/deobfuscated code of the proprietary VoIP software, Skype, was released to public. A free software replacement for Skype is on the FSF's high priority list for a long time but this task is still not fulfilled to these days. Because this is NOT a reverse-engineered code, this does mean that there will be no free/libre client for GNU now (and it is questionable whether that is legally possible at all).

Although using the Skype's proprietary protocol is a bad idea, even if we had a free replacement, it is a good way to help people switching towards freedom. Hope this issue will be sorted out in the foreseeable future.
