Cisco: Perfect Home for eBay's Skype? [View article]
Their license to use Skype has been revoked, by the original designers. It seems that ebay didn't actually purchase the source code, just the rights to use it. Hey, $3.2B will get you only so much!
And another FYI: Current CEO John Donahoe joined ebay in Feb 2005 as President of eBay Marketplaces. He was very much instrumental in the decision to purchase Skype in Sept of that year.
It's best to not buy-in to press release blather, too much. Next you'll be believing that "ebay's roots" consisted of the Chinese mega-sellers (of crap) that currently infest the site.
