Groklaw: How One Person Can Do Big Deeds. Thanks PJ.

“The endless SCO saga is finally at an end, and justice has
prevailed. But without Groklaw, would it have ended
differently?

“Let me rephrase that: it will probably continue to sputter and
emit random gases, because the nice SCO leadership and their
backers are masters of weaving grand propositions out of fantasy,
and perpetuating their fantasies in the seemingly non-functional US
civil courts system. But for all non-Bizarro world purposes it is
over. The SCO vs. Novell verdict settles the key question of who
owns the Unix copyrights. Answer: not SCO. I know, it’s a little
more complex than that because there are several Unix variants. But
as far as SCO’s silly claims against Linux, it is definitively
over.

“Those of us who followed this loony saga from the beginning are
wondering: What would have happened if Pamela Jones and Groklaw had
not taken an interest in this case? Would there have been any
semblance of truth anywhere? I think not.”
