I cant see why.  If they mess around with the protocol then all they would
do is start to loose many paying customers for Skype that use Linux.  As
Microsoft look to do more things on the web they have been making them more
friendly to systems other than their own.

If they do something to restrict users then they will have less customers
and something else may be adopted as a Skype replacement.

Thank you
