hm its just based on forums. ive installed it already, just
did a more thorough search. it appears that some wankers saw
'made by the kazaa people' and misinterpreted the EULA.
kinda like muslims reading the koran.

this for mac?

Been using Skype for a couple of months now on OSX (3+ hours
every day) and have to say that I'm very pleased. The sound
quality is much better than traditional international
(mobile) calls, at least here in the UK and, and the
difference it has made on my phone bill is obviously quite
major. Haven't noticed any spyware at least in the OSX
version, and it also seems to use only a minimal amount of
bandwidth. Good stuff
