Uhm, I'm not in the USA, but if I remember all this correctly, the DMCA explicitly allows reverse engineering with the purpose to create an original work in order to achieve interoperability. I think that would pretty much allow it, unless patent-law is broken.
IIRC, there is an exception to the reverse-engineering rule that disallows reverse-engineering for the purposes of breaking/defeating/compromising encryption. In this case, that would be necessary for interoperability, since Skype is encrypted.
Really, that's the biggest obstacle anyway: even if you can figure out their protocol, and what encryption methods they are using, if you can't get their encryption keys you haven't really accomplished anything.
