Skype the app always was and is proprietary so the platform it's hosted on makes no difference to the license question - if they were violating something before they are probably still violating it now and likewise if they were not. The GPL (long before v3) has always been very careful not to restrict downstream users regardless of their field of endeavour so nuclear weapons scientists, lawyers and evil super geniuses are just as welcome to use Linux as Microsoft (subject to local laws of course ;-). I'm very happy to see a company like Microsoft selecting a superior operating system platform for their public facing services.
