I've mentioned some of the questions being raised about Skype before and now the other shoe has dropped as the French government has told all universities they must stop installing Skype. The order cites security concerns, magnified by Skype's proprietary protocol, but some are suggesting that the order has more to do with lost telecom revenues than with fears about security (after all, we haven't seen a similar order regarding Windows). In French. Via BNA's Internet Law News.
