Is Bestow Curse Spell Good Or Evil?

[MaxiDuRaritry]

So if one is ruling on skeletons in a pedantically RAW way, skeletons won’t necessarily obey the commands of a nonevil master because of the “that obey the orders of their evil masters” clause?

Apparently. Of course, only an "eeeeevil" master would have a mindless automaton working for him/her/it.

I said RAW. There is an actual algorithm for how to play an uncontrolled mindless undead printed in one of the books (libris mortis, I believe) that details everything down to what search pattern the undead uses when they can't currently see any living creatures to attack and how to react to undead attacking other undead creatures.

RAW is that skeletons do nothing, and the Monster Manual is 100% primary source on that. Any other source that isn't errata or explicitly says it overrides Core? Nyet.
