    Well... Skype is neat

I would guess that you're judging this at a practical level only.
On that level, I have no opinion.
I was talking about the ethical level: it's not free software.

Of course, Windows XP isn't free software either,
but lots of people realize that Windows is bad.
Many of them don't realize that the Skype software raises the same issue.
