RE: Why are you violating the Skype API Terms of Use?
If you are an employee of Skype then contact the email I stated earlier. They can share with you their process of showing the Wink (not the actual code but if the flash animation is just shown to appear "as if" it is in the conversation window. If there is a violation of the terms you can count on Kimahri to fix it.

But what you must realize is that showing something in a window doesn't require your API. So again another gray area. What they are doing doesn't, in my eyes, appear to breach the terms of use with regards to the API.

Anyone could create an application that would add a picture to any Skype conversation window and not call your API to do so therefore that isn't against the terms of use.

So like I said, if you are an employee of Skype/Microsoft then contact the email address. Or better yet PM me your Skype or Microsoft email and I will email you directly with the Project Managers name and Email address.
