I think you are right concerning this license, but OTOH Skype has recently decided to make the UI part of their linux client "open source": http://share.skype.com/sites/linux/2009/11/skype_open_source.html Apparently they want to keep just the communications protocol closed source, as some kind of a library. I think it should be researched what Skype means by making the UI "open source" before deciding this matter. I think it's possible they wanted to allow for integration with multiprotocol clients.
