Roy Schestowitz notes that for the first time in nearly a year, Groklaw has come back to life with the posting of an item in its "Latest News Picks" section noting the UK's adoption of OpenDocument Format.

Roy also points out a further news link to the US Patent Office's increased scrutiny of software patents of late and says:

No wonder Groklaw is eager to say something and perhaps come back for good. It will hopefully return to covering FOSS issues, such as the IRS assault on FOSS, patents against Android (China revealed Microsoft's patents and Microsoft's booster Richard Waters reveals that Qualcomm too might be affected), among many other issues that never received an extensive legal coverage.

    Groklaw has been missed, as much for the content as Pam's writing. I hope she's back for good, and a regular side bar here. The shutdown may have been a little over-done in the drama department, but I don't care. She did what she thought she had to do, and I'm glad she's back.

    Are you kidding me? PJ is a total whackadoodle, right up there with old Twitter from /. on the nutbar scale! When she tried to claim that Psystar (the fly by night company selling Apple clones) was secretly a plot by MSFT to undermine FOSS? I'm sorry but she should have been medicated back then!

    I'd say the only positive thing about what we learned from Snowden was spooking PJ off the Internet, so c'mon NSA, help us out, spook her again...pretty please? Hell the only thing she ever did of note was covering the SCO case and that was...what? 9 years ago? And even then it got to the point she was screaming shills, trolls, vampires [tmrepository.com] at everyone who didn't buy into her ever widening conspiracy theory.
