If Groklaw had a PR budget or newsletter, the press would know better. The problem is that the SCO has fed so much misinformation out there, that all of these publications are reporting it.

They came in and updated the story. There are soooo many news organizations that would not even do that. @ R Peters,

A simple check of the web would have cleared up many of the "mistakes" in the article (e.g., the Groklaw reference) Is accurate reporting optional? Please reply Digital Trends News!!!

You clearly neither looked at the study nor got your information from someone who had. This does not bode well for your reputation and credibility as a news source.

It said it had a few that might or might not be valid. And now that the US Supreme Court has raised the bar on obviousness, those few claims may not be valid.
