free, non-american owned

open source (ie safer) alternative to skype - it looks and acts just the same:
wengo
I would encourage you all to try it - it does everything skype does (chat, phone video). It even integrates into firefox and it supports lots of standards which is a good thing.
my nickname for wengo is grixamatosis

of course it doesn't interoperate with skype - skype is proprietary and closed source, no-one can interoperate with skype - that's why standards are good and why skype is bad.
