Groklaw

Groklaw covers legal news of interest to the free software and open source community, such as the SCO litigation regarding Linux. Additionally, the site offers attorneys technical advice. Any attorney can submit technical questions that they might need to understand to be able to handle a deposition, for example, of an expert.

Author: Pamela Jones, a journalist trained as a paralegal, is the founder and editor of Groklaw. While others contribute articles, wherever there is no author mentioned, it is "PJ" writing and reporting. Thousands of volunteers—predominantly software developers and system administrators with expertise in Linux, Unix and Windows—do group research on cases in the news.
