“Professionally, however, I think the time has come for Jones to
seriously reevaluate the roles she and her team of Groklaw
volunteers have within the free and open source community. I do not
feel that such a reevaluation will or should end with the closure
of the Groklaw web site, but change must indeed come and it may be
painful.

“Over the years, the role of Groklaw has slowly shifted from an
outright anti-SCO blog to (as its readership grew) a centralized
documentation repository for other ongoing lawsuits in and around
the FLOSS community, complete with editorial commentary. The
overarching goal of the site seems to have been relatively static:
defend the FLOSS community against misinformation based on legal
attacks.”
