           Summary: KAddressBook promotes Microsoft Skype
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: meta at pobox.com
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: kaddressbook

I took a look at KAddressBook today, wondering if it would sync to my Android
address book, maybe via Gmail.

When I opened the configuration, the first entry was Contact Actions. I noticed
that the action drop-downs for "Dial Phone Number" and "Send SMS" had built-in
support for Microsoft Skype -- and nothing else!

It is utterly shameful for a piece of free software to promote a closed,
proprietary network and its encrypted binaries in this way. Either some entries
for common open standards solutions should be added, or the Skype entry should
be removed. (Or ideally, both of those things!)

Reproducible: Always
