Microsoft sends GitHub DMCA shutdown for Skype open source project
Please note: this is not an attempt to clean-room reverse engineer Skype, or even to reverse engineer and create an open-source replacement. As shown with things like WINE, Microsoft does not (and probably cannot) take them down.No, that's not what "Skype Open Source" project is. This is a confusingly misnamed attempt to attach code to patched copies of copyrighted official Skype clients.Microsoft is not overreaching here; this is what anyone would expect with a lame project like this. I'd love if someone really created an open-source Skype client, but this is not a project to do that.
