I assume you're talking about the SkypeKit beta they just announced (as
opposed to the Skype API, which has been around for longer (I think))?

Do you have a link to the license agreement?  I looked for it briefly,
but couldn't find one.  All I could find was this (which makes me
suspect the license may not be GPL-compatible): "For example, our
license terms prohibit using SkypeKit for gambling or adult-themed
applications." (from
