Not to defend Skype, but let's keep a sense of proportion. Is the *phone
system* open source? Is it free from bugging?

(BTW there is no evidence to suggest that Skype conversations can be
overheard, as long as both ends are secured. That doesn't mean they
can't be, but the balance of probabilities seems to be against it for
the time being. Note that traffic analysis is another matter).
