Here's what I can see about comments on Groklaw:
From all
comments pages:
Please try to keep posts on topic, stay polite and
ignore trolls, no swearing, foul language or the use of *'s to suggest it.
Try to reply to other people's comments instead of starting new threads.
Read other people's messages before posting your own to avoid simply duplicating
what has already been said.
Use a clear subject that describes what your
message is about.
Your IP address will be recorded, but NOT made public. We
reserve the right to edit or delete inappropriate
contributions.
And:
From the bottom of all pages
on Groklaw

What does that mean? It means what the words say.
Loosely, and
without intending to alter the wording in any way, it basically means you can
copy and share the articles themselves (not the comments though) and distribute
for noncommercial use as long as you let people know where you got it, such as
by linking back to this website by name, and make clear the license that it is
licensed under, such as by listing the name of the license and/or linking to it,
and not giving a false impression that I endorse your site or use or am
connected in some way with you. If you aren't sure if your intended use is
commercial or noncommercial, contact us and we'll talk. Also, we can alter the
terms just for you, if we want to. Note that we have the articles posted without
comments to make it easier for you, as well as with comments for general reading
and enjoyment.
Note that the license includes the following: "Nothing in this
license impairs or restricts the author's moral rights." That means, among other
things, as an example that if you are mirroring or copying and sharing our works
and also surrounding it in materials we would find deeply offensive, it's not OK
with us, and we don't grant you permission to do that. Again, if you are not
sure, email us and we can discuss what you'd like to do.
Enjoy.
Don't just make claims in thin air. Back them up
properly in the spirit of this site.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The license terms are the current ones for the site you are visiting. They make
no claim of retrospection. When you visit old pages, then the license terms are
the current ones for that page.
If you had got here earlier, you might have found better terms, but I doubt it.
It does not get much better than what you have today.
