I have a real treat for you. I have the trial transcripts from the IPI v. Red Hat and Novell patent litigation. As you know, the jury just ruled that the three asserted patents were not valid.

Google has reached a settlement in the litigation over its Google Books feature. The settlement is complex, but on a quick look, it seems a bit like radio paying into a copyright clearinghouse to be able to play music.

But it has a number of fatal flaws. Mr. Shuttleworth didn't make just a couple of careless comments; the recurring theme all through his talk was "Guys are the cool techies, girls are not." He drew a clear line between 'us' and 'them', with 'us' being men and 'them' being women.

The Novell/Canopy/Caldera/DR DOS story continues, and Novell and Microsoft are in the middle of it all, battling in discovery in the Novell v. Microsoft antitrust litigation -- that is the litigation over WordPerfect currently before the US District Court in Maryland in pretrial discovery.

Do you remember the patent infringement case IP Innovation filed against Red Hat and Novell in 2007? We looked for prior art, if you recall. Well, I'm very happy to tell you that Red Hat and Novell have prevailed in the litigation...

Novell has filed a Notice of Appeal in its antitrust litigation against Microsoft. That's the case about its WordPerfect claims. Despite Microsoft prevailing on its motion to dismiss, for technical reasons I'll explain a bit in a minute, I want you to read what the judge said Microsoft did to Novell

One of the reasons I haven't done almost any video editing is due to the relative lack of "mature" software for the job in Linux/Unix.

SCO has filed a motion asking for a hearing in the SCO v. IBM litigation. It would like IBM to be blocked from pursuing its claims, while asking the court to let SCO unilaterally go forward on its contract claims, which SCO now asserts are not affected by the loss it sustained in the SCO v. Novell litigation.

In connection with completing our records on Groklaw, we've set up a permanent page for our coverage of Project Monterey, a major theme in the SCO v. IBM litigation. \
