  Groklaw - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Groklaw became famous when, soon after being set up, it started providing detailed investigation into SCO Group's litigation against IBM and its attacks on Linux and providing legal research that might prove helpful.
The efforts of Groklaw are directed at discovering the truth regarding SCO's allegations, and it attempts to be a voice for the FOSS community, who, while not a party to any of the SCO litigations, are nonetheless affected by them.
Groklaw covered the European patent debates, and has also covered new patent filings by Microsoft and potential changes to the current patent system in the United States.

Heinlein autographing at the 1976 Worldcon Robert Anson Heinlein (July 7, 1907 – May 8, 1988) was one of the most influential and controversial authors in science fiction.
It was coined by science fiction writer Robert Heinlein in his novel Stranger in a Strange Land, where it is part of the fictional Martian language and introduced to English speakers...
Groklaw's name derives from the geek slang verb 'grok' roughly meaning "to understand completely".

 Letter to the Editor: No IBM-Groklaw connection | Tech News on ZDNet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Groklaw is my thank you to the GNU/Linux developers who gave the world an operating system that I enjoy using, because of the freedoms that come with the software.
Groklaw is also an idea, an innovative attempt to use a kind of open source method for group legal research, something the Internet makes possible, and it's been an enjoyable experiment and a successful one.
Millions of readers now agree that Groklaw has value, which is probably what is bothering SCO and why they appear to be trying to diminish its influence by casting unfounded aspersions on Groklaw's integrity.

 Groklaw's high definition on software patents - ZDNet UK Comment
The Groklaw community has set its group mind to defining what software is, all the better not to patent it.
Over at Groklaw, the SCO-watching site that is gently expanding into a general talking shop on the legal realities of free and open source software, such questions strike home.
With luck, the Groklaw definition will go through another round of public analysis and fine tuning, and will attract attention from the patent offices and legislators of Europe and beyond.

The purpose of the hierarchical index is to aid in browsing the documents, topics, and categories of most interest to Groklaw users.

 Utah man sues Groklaw, Slashdot, and 200 others
A MAN IN A place called Utah which is in a country called America, has taken legal action against Slashdot, Groklaw, Pamela Jones, and a number of other individuals and organisations amounting to around 230 or so.
The case was filed in a district court in "Utah", on the 21st of June last.
The docket alleges groklaw.com and groklaw.net are "extreme right wing" and promote "messages of hatred and violence directed against members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints ("Mormons"), and against business entities who employee (sic) are funded by, owned by, or operated by Mormons".

We have folks in the audience supporting Groklaw, they are probably thinking they are fighting the good fight by reporting the "truth", but they are only filtering what they see through their own bias and making it harder for people who work for a living to make valid decisions.
Enderle is attributing to Groklaw as a whole the (alleged and justly condemned) actions of a few.
The straw man is that Groklaw has not threatened anyone's career and reputation, but instead has put forth evidence and analysis showing the fundamental weakness of numerous legal and public statements.

Groklaw’s founder, who has worked under the title PJ, has been responsible for getting a lot of information to the Linux community about the activities of SCO in its attempts to sink the operating system in a patent dispute.
SCO has made no secret of the fact that it dislikes Groklaw and would like the site shut down, so that it can present its own version of the court cases to the media.
The story is full of comments about this Pamela Jones and doesn’t actually appear to out Groklaw’s PJ at all.

 Re: Writing Linux History: Groklaw's Role in the SCO Controversy
It is a problem that a lot of the journalism surrounding the case and reporting on the issues is often not very well researched and seems to represent the opionions of columnists rather than presenting any reasoned arguments or facts which might back up their opinions.
Groklaw's best offering to the world is its warehouse of FACTS in the case: the actual documents and evidence filed in the courts are available for everyone to see on the Groklaw website.
Groklaw provides a commentary on SCO's case against IBM, and collects all relevant documents in one place, but it has no real effect on the actual case itself.

Jones, who responds to questions from the media only by e-mail, said that when she launched Groklaw she wanted to focus on one case and picked SCO because of its interest to the free software and open source community.
"The whole point of doing Groklaw was to give voice to the one group that was not a party to the litigation but would be impacted directly by the outcome: the authors of the Linux kernel," she wrote in an e-mail.
She said in a May 9 Groklaw posting that she was considering taking legal action.

 GrokLaw: MVP of the SCO Wars. Many-to-Many:
Groklaw has reported before on contributions made to the Linux kernel by Christoph Hellwig while he was a Caldera employee.
Groklaw has moved the fulcrum of this battle considerably closer to SCO, making it easier for IBM to exert leverage, and harder for SCO to.
I can’t predict how the current conflict will end, but the pattern Groklaw has established, of acting on behalf of the people who will be adversely affected by a two-party legal battle, has already been vindicated, even if SCO avoids bankruptcy.

I conclude that groklaw is indeed programmed to deceive people like this, but PJ and MathFox are not honest enough to admit it.
I realize groklaw's software is reported to be appallingly poor, with posts and sometimes entire stories disappearing for no reason at all (other than "heavy load", which is no excuse whatsoever: if the software isn't broken, it will return the correct results or time out, not just randomly lose stuff).
I had thought Groklaw was a positive channel, and when I made those posts, I thought I was contributing to Groklaw, not just talking to myself.

Groklaw, run by paralegal Pamela Jones, provides legal filings and detailed analyses of SCO's legal cases with IBM, Novell, AutoZone, DaimlerChrysler and Red Hat.
Jones runs Groklaw as an amateur project, with assistance from contributors who report on court hearings, provide commentary and transcribe legal files into searchable text.
But Groklaw led to a paid offshoot: A start-up called Open Source Risk Management hired Jones to compile a history of Unix intellectual property for a project called Grokline.

Groklaw attracts basically the same crowd with respect to rabid belief in the Linux platform as Slashdot.
Having said that, I usually skip the Groklaw comments nowadays, because I got tired of the many trolls and counter-trolls.
The irony of the whole groklaw thing is that it was MrBride, et al, that set out to try their cases "in the media" and in doing so got handed their heads on a platter.

To say PJ's not a SCO fan would be an understatement, a fact that has won her the adoration of a legion of FOSS fans.
Listening to the same conference call as other media types, PJ had a rejoinder in place on her site shortly after the conference call saying she is honored "to be smeared" by SCO.
For her part, PJ says in the Groklaw entry, she knows who she is and poked fun at the idea of speculation into who she really is and what's being said about her true identity by SCO officials.

SCO Group's chief executive, Darl McBride, has launched a stinging attack on community legal web site Groklaw, insisting it is partly responsible for disappointing results from the company's SCOsource licensing program.
It's not the first time that SCO has publicly suggested that there may be more to Groklaw than meets the eye.

 SCO, Groklaw and the Monterey mystery that never was | The Register
From a Google search for "Project Monterey" the top six results are either the Groklaw articles, or articles about them.
At least five articles published this month suggest that Project Monterey, the joint Unix that was being co-developed by IBM, the Santa Cruz Operation and Sequent beginning in 1998 was only a "stop-gap" measure.
Let's examine the Groklaw conjectures, their merit, and see how much damage they could do to the open source defense against SCO, which until now has been both exhaustive and exacting.

The fur is flying between The SCO Group and online legal Web site Groklaw with both sides late this week making public key SCO internal communications dating back several years.
SCO and Groklaw are old adversaries, with the online legal site providing coverage that was often highly critical of every stage of the software vendor's litigation.
At one time, SCO even planned to set up a Prosco.net web site to counter Groklaw's coverage and tell its own side of its legal battles, but the company ultimately decided to do that within the www.sco.com site, according to Blake Stowell, a SCO spokesman.

In addition to partially sponsoring my noncommercial Groklaw work on the Unix Timeline Project, OSRM and I are working together on other litigation defense work on the Linux kernel -- work we expect will be of significant strategic value in dealing with future lawsuits.
