Groklaw Will Be Archived At Library of Congress 81
inode_buddha writes "Groklaw has just received an invitation to be archived in the Library of Congress. In true FOSS style, PJ has decided to ask all the contributors and commenters if they wish to be included, since commenters own the copyrights on their comments. So far, the answer seems to be 'yes,' even for Anonymous Cowards. It's a great honor for Groklaw, but one wonders how many AC's there are, and whether Congress or future researchers would think that they are all one person."

Explain that in your response to Groklaw and let them figure it out.

And what about all the people she "anonymised" when she deleted their accounts, but not their comments?
(most notably John Gabriel, but others as well.)
As an anonymous... (Score:1, Interesting)
It is my firm belief that all anonymous posts are public domain.
It is precisely like someone shouting in a square -- and that's why I always choose to go anonymous.
I want what I say to be judged on its own merits -- praised or rejected, whatever.
That /. in practice relegated ACs to oblivion looks like totally idiotic to me (though I recognize jerks usually post anonymously)... we need a better system.
Karma is only desired by those who must collect it with daily zeal; the truly enlightened, by the proper definition of the word, don't want karma.
(I apologize for the hubris shown).
