I particularly like the bit about SCO being like the Troll under the bridge
wanting to charge a toll from everyone using Linux. Brilliant.

I know that I feel very much like Pamela Jones, that as a user of Linux and
Open Source/Free Software, that I would like to give back. That is probably
one of my biggest reasons for being so actively involved in CLUG and its
affairs. To see CLUG succeed is to ultimately serve me in the end by
promoting the OS and the software I use.

I had a thought while I was reading this article. I wonder if there are
developers auditing any of the code looking for instances of any IP
infringement. I would not be at all surprised if they are. It is a sad waste
of resources if they are but it is also the kind of project I could see the
Open Source community rallying behind to prove that there is nothing
untoward in the code. My hat is off to them if they are. It is a matter of a
preemptive strike and well beyond due diligence.

And what a great name 'Groklaw'.
