Which pretty much removes ESR and RMS from the running. :-) That
said, self-promotion notwithstanding, ESR is very good at making
complex technical issues clear. However, this is not about complex
_technical_ issues, but, rather, about IBM's alleged contract 
violoations. SCOs trial-by-press-release is calcualated attempt
to cloud the core legal issue: did IBM subvert the contract or not?
