PJ herself has herself explained, in the press release cited above, why there is no conflict between Groklaw's position and her new duties:

I see a need for low-cost vendor-neutral protection that will at the same time make it possible to allow continued free modification of the code. No one else has successfully done so. I believe OSRM has come up with the right answer.

It is important to distinguish between indemnification offered by a vendor, often with strings attached, and defense insurance supplied by a third party. PJ is right -- the latter alternative affords some protection for those who need it, without taking away the freedom to modify or furnishing SCO with a target of opportunity.
