And I repeat again:
The OpenBSD ports tree is *neither included in nor recommended* by OpenBSD.
OpenBSD *Does. Not. Do. That.* because OpenBSD's policies are not to do that.

The OpenBSD packages system cannot be used install non-free software,
because there are none. However, it is trivially easy to use the
gNewSense apt system to install unfree software. This requires three
steps at most. From

(Yes, this is an Ubuntu site, but AFAIK the exact same instructions
can be used on gNewSense.):
   1. Add the Skype repository to /etc/apt/sources.list:
  deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free
   2. Reload or update the package information
   3. Install the skype package.

Richard, I am just asking you to be consistent and avoid the
impression of biased decisionmaking based on a conflict of interest.

Thanks and regards,

PS:
Ok, and I *know* I should not be trolling, but I have to get this over with:
gNewSense -- nuisance ;o)
There. I feel better now. I had to get that off my chest. Sorry, Could
Not Resist. ;-)
