What's so far fetched about this?  I'm sure you could get their business for cheap and that
there is 
some company willing to take a gamble on it.

As I understand it (not reading the site with any degree of regularity), the credibility of
Groklaw and PJ lies in straightforward documentation and explanation of legal issues and
processes. Posting falsified documents or deliberately misdescribing their legal ramifications
would be injurious to the site's credibility. Has this happened?

Seriously, PJ's ongoing game of "Find Waldo" seriously damages her credibility.  The flimsy
evidence that she presents to support her assertions that she has "found" Waldo should
embarrass her.  The fact that it doesn't seem to makes matters worse.

Maybe they're buying a malpractice cause of action against the Boies firm.

I would have figure by now MS would have achieved everything it had set out to accomplish via
SCO and had just hung them out to dry.

Follow the money

The government mint?

Oh, you mean *seriously*. In that case, it's back to the customers who purchased Microsoft
products. Or their employers. Or *their* customers. Where should we stop?

Hmm, actually I suppose it *does* lead back to the mint.

I love PJ's euphemism: Waldo. Who can spot him here? :)

Waldo == MS

Absolutely! If some of these were prepared to fork out on a "linux license" imagine what else
they would fork out for.

Maybe they want the customer list. A list of gullible people with money could be a valuable asset to a business. :-)
