FSF Subpoenaed by SCO

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the you-can't-make-this-stuff-up dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Bradley M. Kuhn on the FSF website: Late last year, we were subpoenaed by SCO as part of the ongoing dispute between SCO and IBM. Today, we made that subpoena available on our website. This is a broad subpoena that effectively asks for every single document about the GPL and enforcement of the GPL since 1999. They also demand every document and email that we have exchanged with Linus Torvalds, IBM, and other players in the community. In many cases, they are asking for information that is confidential communication between us and our lawyers, or between us and our contributors."

    How do you print a blob?
    If I forward your forward and you forward my forward
    back how many levels of this do I have to provide for in the request?

    If I have compressed the stuff and I have to pay by the page to decompress and read it, do I have to pay for them to do it or can I just provide the compressed format?

    Do I just give them a hard drive with the stuff on it? What file system should the hardrive have?
