Groklaw
Groklaw is a website that covered legal news of interest to the free and open source software community.
Started as a law blog on May 16, 2003 by paralegal Pamela Jones ("PJ") at Radio UserLand, it covered issues such as the SCO-Linux lawsuits, the EU anti-trust case against Microsoft, and the standardization of Office Open XML.
Other topics covered, which are perceived as being important to a larger audience than just the free and open source community, include software patents, DMCA, the legally problematic actions of the RIAA against alleged illegal file sharers, and actions against free open software such as Android and Linux.
On August 20 2013 a final article appeared on Groklaw, explaining that due to pervasive government monitoring of the Internet, there could no longer be an expectation of the sort of privacy online that was necessary to collaborate on sensitive topics.
