Hello: Skype for Linux version 4 has recently been released. An RPM package has been made, and it's mentioned in the Wiki: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Skype#head- a08dbc518378653842007a2eec37bc32e13c0bd0 However, Microsoft claims to prohibit redistribution of Skype (http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/legal/terms/tou/ , subsection 4.2). My feeling is that the Wiki shouldn't mention this RPM, but I thought I shouldn't simply delete this part of the Wiki before asking here.

I have reverted the change. In this case, I think we should apply the "guilty until proven innocent" rule. Akemi

It is not like we are distributing it, thus the new change should not affect it being in the wiki.
