Pee Jay says silence is golden

Remember when Pee Jay aggressively attacked Alexander Terekhov over
at her Groklaw blog?

"Also, I thought you'd find it interesting that an antiGPL activist,
Alexander Terekhov, has for years been posting comments on the internet
that the way to, in essence, steal GPL code is to use first sale and
copyright misuse. Another example. Here's the beginning of a long thread
on that topic, and you'll notice that his contributions also mention
copyright misuse and how rms is allegedly trying to destroy 'freedom'
with the GPL. He also claimed that Eben Moglen would never dare to go to
court against Cisco/Linksys/Broadcom or whoever, because he'd lose since
his GPL 'game' was all about bluff. That was in 2004. As you know, the
Software Freedom Law Center has since gone to court successfully
regarding the GPL multiple times, so be aware that his "legal" views are
not accurate, in my view. Here's the Cisco/Linksys settlement in May,
for example. But I've wondered if SCO saw all the comments from him and
Daniel Wallace, a/k/a gumout, and actually believed it was worth trying
some of their theories, thinking the FSF would be a pushover, and I
wonder the same about Psystar's more subtle approach."

Pee Jay trumpeted, "the Software Freedom Law Center has since
gone to court successfully regarding the GPL multiple times". This,
despite Eben Moglen's SFLC voluntarily dismissing the seven suits before
a federal judge could ever read a single word of any complaint.

Now that the internet is buzzing with the fraudulent copyright claims of
Erik Andersen, where pray tell, is Pee Jay's analysis of the
situation? Who's stealing the code now, Pee Jay?

As is typical of the blogs astro-turfing for Eben Moglen and the SFLC,
Groklaw wallows in the golden sound of silence. Pee Jay had an
apoplectic fit of moral outrage when SCO tried a scam on folks. Where's
the moral outrage now Pee Jay? Alexander was 100% on target when
he claimed, "[T]hat Eben Moglen would never dare to go to court against
Cisco/Linksys/Broadcom or whoever, because he'd lose since his GPL
'game' was all about bluff".

BLUFF and FRAUD. Pee Jay, that's what the GPL is all about. BLUFF and FRAUD.

You can rest assured that the fourteen defendants' legal departments
in the SFLC's current fraudulent action will want to depose Mr. Andersen
concerning his copyright "ownership" of BusyBox v. 0.60.3. Let the games
begin.

The SFLC, frivolously and with the intent to harass and intimidate the
defendants, filed seven consecutive federal lawsuits without the  legal
standing to do so. So... a fraudulent copyright registration was filed
to remedy the standing issue. That's out of the frying pan and into the
fire.

A federal court is going to call the SFLC's bluff sooner or later. Let
the games begin.

Sincerely,
Rjack
