The court hearing in the "Welte vs. Skype Technologies SA" case went pretty well. Initially the court again suggested that the two parties might reach some form of amicable agreement. We indicated that this has been discussed before and we're not interested in settling for anything less than full GPL compliance.

I just un-installed Skype & canceling my paid membership. Why didn't I know about this before. I'm disgusted that I even paid any money at all or promoted Skype to my friends.
