Replace Ekiga with Skype?

[ooobuntooo]

Would you support Ubuntu being shipped with Skype instead Ekiga?

[loell]

out of the question. thats a NO :D

[Thingymebob]

No Way

[master5o1]

Skype is a recursive acronym:

Skype: Killing Your Private Exchanges.

[vishzilla]

NO way! Plus its closed-source

[chris4585]

no

[Archmage]

Could you please change the question to: Do you want that Ubuntu will go close-source and therefore you have to pay for Ubuntu, so that we can ship Ubuntu with Skype.

[linuxguymarshall]

No just because it is closed-source. I do think some decent VoIP software would be nice though

For me "yes that would be great", for my family and friends "yes that would be great".

But I have to say no for the reasons mentioned above and that a distro should be as open as generic as possible.

However I think skype should be in the repositories as its a killer app for many!

I would replace instead Ekiga with Ekiga 3.0
That would be a good sugestion ;)

Skype-out prices are a complete rip-off and it's closed source.

No thanks.

[billgoldberg]

It will never and should never happen.

I do not use Ekiga, but Skype is non-free and easy enough to install. I would support leaving Ekiga out of the default install, but not replacing it with non-free software.
