That has hardly been the GrokLaw party line up to now.
To clarify, here is a direct quote from PJ:
Here's my message to IBM and Red Hat on the subject of indemnification: Please don't offer indemnification across the board. If a corporate customer wants it and wishes to pay for it individually, go right ahead. But I don't want it. I don't need it. Openness is my indemnification anyway. I especially don't want you to offer it in the current circumstances.
PJ's opinion on indemnification, as expressed in Groklaw, has been quite consistent: nobody really needs it, and it can do more harm than good, especially when it is linked to a restriction of the user's freedom.
So you're right -- it would put PJ in a spot if her employer wanted her to talk people into getting indemnification. But it would be ... ummm ... astonishing if she were to accept a job under those conditions.
