Empathy, Ekiga, Twinkle... the list goes on. Even pidgin has SIP plugins. Why is this project special or needed?

audacity is not GNU, linux is not GNU, VLC is not GNU. hell even gcc isn't much GNU, and hasn't been for a long time. I don't know what's filezilla and can't be bothered to google it, but judging by the name I can safely say that it isn't GNU either.
