  1. Re:Mandriva just did this as well? by imr · · Score: 1 · on Linspire Releases Controversial Version 6.0

    I'm not sure you can redistribute it that easily. They had to go through an agreement for the previous release, iirc. Skype is a commercial product, with subscription based services, where drivers are proprietary but arent difficult to distribute, I mean, you're basically doing the vendor's job. So that could be the difference.
    In that area too, Mandriva is also trying to promote Free Software solutions, as it entered in partnership with a Free alternative to skype: openwengo. An european ISP has started to develop their IM - VOIP - VIDEO solution and it's Free Software. They shared a booth with Mandriva at the french Linux expo: http://openwengo.com/

    WengoPhone 2.1 has instant messaging support, implemented using libgaim, can connect to MSN Messenger, OSCAR protocol based networks such as AIM or ICQ, XMPP based networks such as Google Talk and Jabber, and the Yahoo Messenger networks.

    Did you ask to yourself why there is no such service? Actually there is: http://openwengo.com/

    Wengos application is GPL and it uses SIP as its protocol. Behind it, there's a french phone company I believe which seems to think that this may somehow pay off for them (I don't know much more about their business model though).

    "We already have kphone (a QT-based phone, but no KDE integration, so no aRts), iaxcomm (IAX protocol only) and linphone (GTK)."

    While they are good projects, and I hope that they continue their developments, they are not exactly mainstream:

    - kphone/linphone: Setting up SIP accounts is hell for people not familiar with SIP (and behind firewalls/natted).

    - iaxcomm: Wonderful, easy to use/setup even behind NAT, but you must first setup your own Asterisk server.

    I've seen PR from companies such as Wengo, which offers a GPL QT-based client, but the GNU/Linux client is unstable and the project has poor documentation, too much PR on their website.. They also plan to offer a Firefox extention towards mid-February. Their service offers an easy to setup SIP-proxy (free) and POTS-proxy ($).

    Anyway, I'm happy to see that OpenZoep is using XMPP and it looks like a very nice complementary alternative.

  20. catch up and be open (SIP standard compliant) by Falcon040 · · Score: 3, Informative · on Skype Makes U.S. Retail Debut

    VoIP not only needs to catch up but also be open like email, and unlike the divided IM space.
    Unfortunately Skype is not the application which connects to an open network.

    Only applications like Gizmo http://www.gizmoproject.com/ and many other ones (which I don't use) connect to the International Standard-compliant Protocol known as SIP.

    If you want voice chat (VoIP) on Linux then you have a good selection too (I don't know which are SIP compliant and which are not though):
