I believe google have a repository for some of their stuff in
http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/i386/ . If google earth is in
there then anyone could make a YMP to install it.

Skype isn't at present in a repository, either the vendor needs to
host it in a repository, or libzypp support installing individual
packages which are not in a repository. I believe this is on the
feature plan anyway.

It might even be possible for a community member to host rpm-md
metadata which points to third party applications without hosting
them. I'm not sure whether that would work, but I believe rpm-md is
flexible enough for it - depends whether libzypp will break horribly
or not.

In any case this isn't a limitation of YMPs
