Skype about Fring solution
This post was posted on a Skype blog.

Yesterday, Fring said in his blog that we blocked their access to Skype. I would like absolute clarity on this issue: it is not true.
The Fring application used Skype in a way that was not intended when creating the program and which violated the terms of use of the API and user license. We have been discussing this problem with Fring for some time, trying to solve it peacefully.

However, over time, the use of our software by the Fring application has begun to inflict more and more damage to our brand and reputation in the eyes of our users. On Friday, Fring withdrew support for video calls on Skype in the version for iOS4 without warning, again damaging our brand and disappointing our users who are waiting for first-class work from Skype.
We support developers who want to create products that are compatible with Skype, if this is done in accordance with our API licenses. At the same time, Skype intends to firmly protect its brand and its reputation, and developers who do not comply with our conditions may face legal consequences.
However, in this case, Fring’s claim that their application was blocked by Skype is not true. Fring themselves decided to remove Skype compatibility from the application.
