[luau] Groklaw details about IBM counter-attack

[Hawaii Linux Institute]

Hi Warren-

If necessary, I can send you IBM's counterclaims (in pdf format).  The 
Utah federal district court has adopted the electronic filing system, 
and all the court filings can be found on-line.  (One of the things that 
IBM talked about, was about the GPL "protection".  Since IBM brought 
patents into the equation, the GPL issue may be much bigger than 
everyone had ever thought.  Remember RMS, the person some of us used to 
despite--shame on us--and who was treated as if having a deadly 
transmittable disease?  He may eventually win the Nobel peace price.)

BTW, has it ever been mentioned anywhere that Iraq's former Information 
Minister is now working for SCO?  (I believe everyone in the IP business 
will really laugh at SCO's comment that "[i]f IBM were serious about 
addressing the real problems with Linux, it would offer full customer 
indemnification".  It is well known that no one should sign an 
idenmnification agreement unless this is an industrial norm, as this may 
be inferred as evidence of wilful infringement.)
