Detroit IT jobs are growing. I know several people (none of them know one-another) who have moved there and are working, all from the Chicago area with the exception of one from Sillicon Valley.
I agree with the fact that security through obscurity is never a good stance, however I do recall reading an article either in Linux Pro Magazine or a similar print publication several years back that an outside security researcher was given access to Skype's source and his conclusion was that the protocol was indeed secure. In this case, I believe the company just doesn't want others seeing into their product. Myself, I'm not giving any opinion as to what I think about reverse-engineering it, just wanted to put that out there. Apologies that I cannot cite the source offhand.
Hopefully this doesn't set a precedent. Lawyers like these people really are scum. On a side note, it is interesting
to think about how BSD had its own legal battles with AT&T back in the day, resulting in the 4.4 BSD-Lite systems
from which the major BSD Distributions/Operating Systems today stem from. While I decry the activities of Bedrock Company with regards to the Linux kernel (read: not "operating system), I do think it goes to show the importance of licenses.

Frisk software's F-prot AV runs on BSD/Linux/Windows.
