It’s difficult to know where to begin in saying “goodbye” to Groklaw. What PJ and her many cohorts accomplished there has been unique in my experience. In many ways, Groklaw exemplified the transformational power that the Internet has brought to law, society, technology, and the advancement of all things open.
Consider just a few of the core attributes of Groklaw: there were never any fees to access the rich investigative data to be found there. There wasn’t even any advertising. Yet Groklaw was the “go to” source for professional journalists, initially on SCO. As PJ’s credibility grew, journalists didn’t bother to replicate the research that they knew they could find, often instantly, at PJ’s site. And everything PJ wrote was made available under a Creative Commons copyright license. In short, Groklaw has always been about sharing for the public good.
Indeed, it wasn’t only journalists that bookmarked Groklaw. Whether you worked for SCO, IBM, Novell or anyone else directly involved with the SCO litigation, Groklaw was always the place anyone went to find out the latest. And when I say “anyone,” that included the lawyers, both on staff and outside counsel alike – especially the lawyers.
