Are you really so naïve as to think that Governments haven't paid the
developers of Skype to insert a backdoor? That could explain part of the
reason why they are so dead set against anybody else getting their hands on
the Source Code.
If it's encrypted telephony you want, you can always tunnell an IAX connection
through OpenSSH. The only secrets then are the session keys; and when you
sever the connection, you can even publish the used keys, thus allowing you
plausibly to claim that any remaining encrypted data found on your system was
placed there afterward and re-datestamped.
