Solaris Cluster is going open-source!

Question

I'm pleased to announce that Solaris Cluster is going open-source! Here are the
details:
Official announcement:
http://www.sun.com/featured-articles/2007-0627/feature/index.jsp?intcmp=hp2007jun27_cluster_read
We initiated a new HA Clusters community group on opensolaris.org: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/ha-clusters/
The Solaris Cluster source code base is called Open High Availability (HA) Cluster. See:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/ha-clusters/ohac/
The Solaris Cluster code is released under the Community Development and Distribution License (CDDL). It is browsable via OpenGrog:
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/ohac/
The first release, on June 27, contains the source for almost all the Solaris Cluster agents. The current list of open-source agents can be found at :http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/ha-clusters/ohac/Documentation/open-agents/
We have also released the source-code for the Dataservices Automated Test Suite
(DATS), which tests the Solaris Cluster Agents code. DATS is part of the Solaris Cluster Automated Test Environment (SCATE).
CTI for TET, which is part of the SCATE test infrastructure, has been separately open-sourced on the testing community under the Artistic License. This framework supports both Solaris Cluster and ON test suites: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/testing/
We're committing to open-source the full Solaris Cluster product over the next 18 months, including the agents, core, Geographic Edition, test suites, and docs.
Check out the HA Clusters community (http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/ha-clusters/) and the associated discussion group (http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/forum.jspa?forumID=195).
We are looking forward for contributions and engagement with the community!
Greetings
Thorsten

2.) The Chinese government found ways to listen in on Skype, and I'm sure others have too.  The protocol is NOT secure.
It may not be the protocol, they have a different skype version, TOM Skype  (if I'm not wrong if they try to open the skype page they get redirected there), which bundles or used to bundle an extra program that filtered forbidden words, but this was even before it got transmitted so the protocol doesn't matter (yet).
I guess they have also demanded for a way to eavesdrop on calls so maybe an extra something is added that will allow someone with the right keys to decrypt the communications (I'm thinking about something on the lines of mail encryption, you add the public key of the other person and your own public key so you can decrypt it later, if a third key is somehow added without your knowledge a third party can also decrypt it).
On the rest I have to agree, I'd like to use something that gets more regular updates and can be scrutinized by anyone but ... when you have contacts that use skype that have other contacts that also use skype .... you can't just say from now on I'll use just -insert name here- because skype is not really keeping up and force everyone else to change (even though some contacts don't really care what they use as long as it works well).
