any plugin for kopete to handle voip like - hopefully - skype?

Hi everybody,

I use skype for some days and like it very much :-) but I hate using several apps for same or nearlysame work ...

Is there any plugin for kopete handling the skype calls ?

Is there a global standard for voip like skype or others?

Thanks
Martin

I don't know but I would expect that the licence of the Skype SDK isn't so compatible with the licence of Kopete

Most VoIP providers use SIP, but unfortunately Skype decided to brew their own protocol :(

Hi Anda,

Thanks for your answer ...

Yes, I found the informations in VoIP Standard ...

Yes it is bad that some companies brewing their own standard - like Skype - and their license is not GPL / DPL compatible :-(

Now searching for a better (Windows and Linux) application ... any ideas?

good luck
Martin
