Comment on Shock threat to shut Skype

Comments

It does make you wonder about eBay's M&A team if they buy a company for $2.6Bn but still have to license the key bit of technology from the people they bought it from, AND with a license that the other side didn't have to renew.

Should at least make for an interesting lawsuit and a nice pay day for some lawyers!

Maybe the Skype founders just asked (or demanded). http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=725848

Or eBay did a IBM/MS/DOS redux.
