First install Skype on some box and save/print the Skype license

Then have whoever instructed you read it and have them sign a

of the license and that they take any legal responsibility that may
arise from that. If you are working for a big enterprise, have
the company lawyer read it.

Short version of the last Skype license I read: "Skype owns your PC".

I have been able to talk every single customer out of "make Skype
work" by simply kindly asking them to read the license first and
_really_ read and understand it.

Nice- wonder if there's a good Sarbaines Oxley blocking vector in there
for those affected by it.
