Most of you probably know this page:

http://www1.cs.columbia.edu/~salman/skype/index.html

"Community" is watching the developments with Skype quite closely and
I hope in a moment somebody will see something suspicious, we'll hear
about it.

This is one of the references from this page:

http://www.skype.com/security/files/2005-031%20security%20evaluation.pdf

This is professional evaluation of Skype security. A bit outdated
(2005), but at least you can see that Skype provided access to their
source code and the impression of the researcher was positive.
