Some readers have noticed that some of the early legal documents never made it into text, and three of them on their own initiative have begun sending me text versions, to make our collection complete. So, don't mind me while I add them to the archives for the permanent collection.
Our first is the Tarent vs. SCO-Germany preliminary injunction decision, which we had only in PDF, and our thanks go to Feldegast for doing the text for us.
